Climate activists now a “criminal organization”
The public prosecutor's office in Neuruppin, Germany, has charged five members of the climate protection group "Last Generation" on suspicion of forming a criminal organization.
The reason for the assessment are attacks against facilities at the PCK oil refinery in Schwedt in north-eastern Brandenburg, the capital's BER airport and the Barberini Museum in Potsdam in the period from April 2022 to May 2023, reported Bild on Tuesday.
In addition to the accusation of forming a criminal organization, the charges also include disrupting public businesses, coercion and damage to property.
The accused are members of the Last Generation
"The accusation concerns the accused as members of a sub-group of the 'Last Generation' who, in differentiation from the entire group of the 'Last Generation', declared their willingness to commit crimes of some weight and participated in them."
Following disruptive actions by climate protection demonstrators, investigators carried out searches against members of the group in several federal states in December 2022.
Not the only proceedings against activists
These are not the only investigations in this direction against members of the extreme climate activists; the Munich Public Prosecutor General's Office has also been investigating five Last Generation activists for over a year on suspicion of being members of a criminal organization - and two others for providing support. The Flensburg public prosecutor's office is also conducting a corresponding investigation.
