(Adnkronos) – German police have arrested four leaders of the far-right group ‘Kingdom of Germany’, banned today by Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt, including its founder Peter Fitzek. As a spokesman for the Prosecutor’s Office quoted by Dpa explained, the four German citizens aged between 37 and 59 were arrested this morning as part of a wider operation aimed at suppressing the extremist movement ‘Citizens of the Reich’, of which the ‘Kingdom of Germany’ is a faction. The suspects will appear before an investigating judge at the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe today and tomorrow, he added.
Two people were arrested in the German state of Saxony, one in Brandenburg and another in Rhineland-Palatinate, as the spokeswoman for the Prosecutor’s Office explained, adding that a search was carried out at the home of a suspect in the canton of Solothurn, Switzerland.
