Dozens Arrested in Germany on Suspicion of Planning Armed Coup
Federal prosecutors declined to confirm or deny that the barracks was searched.
The suspects were aware their aim could only be achieved by military means and with force, prosecutors said. Prosecutors identified the suspected ringleaders as Heinrich XIII P. R. and Ruediger v. P., in line with German privacy rules. Der Spiegel reported that the former was a well-known 71-year-old member of a minor German noble family, while the latter was a 69-year-old former paratrooper.
Prosecutors identified another individual detained by police Wednesday as Birgit M.-W. Der Spiegel reported she is a judge and former lawmaker with the far-right Alternative for Germany party. “We have full confidence in the authorities involved and demand a swift and comprehensive investigation,” they said in a statement.
