Raids against "Reich citizens" - arrests in several federal states The police searched the homes of so-called Reich citizens in several federal states and arrested suspects. The Munich Public Prosecutor's Office announced that a suspect arrested in Wolfratshausen had agreed to take part in the planned kidnapping of Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (SPD) and to obtain firearms in Croatia for this purpose. Other members of the alleged terrorist group "United Patriots", which is said to have planned a coup, are already on trial in Koblenz. Federal prosecutors there are accusing four men and one woman of high treason because they wanted to overthrow the government and kidnap the health minister. “Reich citizens” do not recognize the Federal Republic of Germany as a state. They untruthfully declare that the historic German Empire continues to exist to this day. The supporters negate today's democratic and constitutional structures such as parliament, laws or courts. They don't want to pay taxes, social security contributions or fines.
