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.
