Germany Cracks Down on 'Kingdom of Germany' Far-Right Faction Arrests

In a decisive move against far-right extremism, German authorities have apprehended four individuals associated with the 'Kingdom of Germany' movement, a radical faction aiming to overthrow the modern German state.

The operation follows a ban on the group by the interior ministry, spotlighting their efforts to establish a shadow state aligned with the 'Reichsbuerger' ideology, which undermines the legitimacy of Germany's current government.

Prosecutors identified these individuals as key figures in creating 'pseudo-state-like structures', even developing a fake financial system, further intensifying the measures against groups that challenge democratic foundations and security.
