In a decisive move against far-right extremism, German police have arrested five individuals alleged to be actively involved with the group 'Last Defence Wave,' responsible for plotting attacks aimed at undermining the country's democratic foundations.
The arrests, taking place early Wednesday across various locations in Germany, were accompanied by significant property searches, revealing disturbing plans of arson and violence targeting migrants and political opponents.
