Radicalization - Trial against alleged "Reichsbürger" members commences.
In Hamburg's Hanseatic Higher Regional Court, a trial for a man accused of belonging to a "Reichsbürger" group starts on Monday (11:30 am). The Public Prosecutor's Office alleges that the 66-year-old, from Bad Bramstedt, is involved in a terrorist organization and has planned to commit high treason. According to the court's press officer, the man is linked to the "Kaiserreichsgruppe," which aims to set up an authoritarian government structure in Germany resembling the German Empire's 1871 constitution.
It's claimed that the defendant volunteered to sneak into Russian waters with others by boat. After their ship was seized by the Russian Navy, the group planned to contact President Putin as a representative delegation, expecting to receive his support. The trial will have 16 hearings between now and July 19th.
