Neo-Nazi Group Outlawed In Germany; 26 Houses Burgled In 12 States

On Wednesday, German authorities raided dozens of places around the country after Interior Minister Nancy Faeser outlawed a right-wing extremist group accused of disseminating Nazi ideology.

In a statement, the Interior Minister stated that the group’s headquarters, called ‘Artgemeinschaft’, as well as 26 homes belonging to 39 members were searched in the early hours across 12 states.

“This is another hard blow against right-wing extremism and against the intellectual arsonists who continue to spread Nazi ideologies to this day”, Faeser continued.

“This right-wing extremist group has tried to raise new enemies of the constitution with its disgusting indoctrination of children and young people”, Faeser added.

After a year-long investigation in collaboration with US investigations, German authorities this month banned another neo-Nazi group, ‘Hammerskins Deutschland’, with origins in the United States and raided the homes of 28 members.
