Raid on right-wingers
Grandson of FPÖ politician arrested in Germany
After several members of the right-wing extremist group "Saxon Separatists" were arrested in Germany and Poland, it became known on Tuesday that two grandsons of an FPÖ politician from Lower Austria were among them. The police then carried out house searches in Langenlois (Lower Austria) and Vienna.
They call themselves "Saxon separatists" and wanted to conquer areas in eastern Germany by force of arms on "Day X" - but now the handcuffs have clicked for eight suspected terrorists in Germany. In an operation planned by a general staff, 450 officers poured into Germany and arrested the men.
House searches in Vienna and Krems
According to "Bild", there is also said to have been a shootout. An AfD politician is said to have been injured. In addition, house searches were carried out at 20 addresses, including in Vienna and near Krems (Lower Austria). Also in Poland.
The traces in our country lead to the family of former FPÖ politician Hans Jörg Schimanek, who also stood for the Blue Party in the National Council elections. Two young suspects arrested on behalf of the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office are said to be his grandchildren, although both are German citizens. When asked by the "Krone", the former politician "did not want to say anything at the moment".
