In a significant crackdown, German authorities have apprehended three individuals in Bavaria, believed to be involved with the far-right Reichsbuerger group, Munich prosecutors reported on Thursday. These arrests mark an escalated effort to address domestic terrorism concerns.

The suspects are purported members of a group led by the controversial figure, Prince Reuss, charged with attempting to dismantle the existing state structure and impose their own governance model. Allegations include engagement in firearm drills with intentions directed at the German parliament in April 2022.

This operation involved extensive searches across eight locations in Bavaria, Saxony, and Thuringia, highlighting the geographical spread and organizational capability of the group under investigation.
