Thejudiciary and police have once again taken action against the right-wing extremist martial arts group "Knockout 51". In the morning, a total of four properties in Thuringia were searched in connection with investigations into the group, a spokeswoman for the Federal Public Prosecutor General said on Thursday in Karlsruhe. Three arrests were also made. Two people were arrested for their suspected membership of "Knockout 51", the third man for his suspected support of the organization. According to dpa information, the searches took place in Erfurt and Eisenach.
The investigations against "Knockout 51" are not complete even with these searches and arrests, the spokeswoman said.

A major state security trial against four suspected members of the group has been underway at the Jena Higher Regional Court for several weeks.

The searches in Erfurt and Eisenach were conducted as part of a larger operation known as a 'razzia'. This operation aimed to disrupt the activities of the right-wing extremist group "Knockout 51" in Thuringia. The justice system in Karlsruhe has taken a firm stance against criminality associated with extremist groups. Prior to these raids, there had been reports of their activities in Karlsruhe as well. The group's influence extended beyond Thuringia, with suspected members also present in Erfurt and Eisenach.
