Twenty-five people have been arrested in raids across Germany on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the government. According to federal prosecutors, he is one of two alleged ringleaders among those arrested across 11 German states. The federal prosecutor's office said the group had been plotting a violent coup since November 2021 and members of its central "Rat" (council) had since held regular meetings. They had already established plans to rule Germany with departments covering health, justice and foreign affairs, the prosecutor said. Rüdiger von P is suspected of trying to recruit police officers in northern Germany and of having an eye on army barracks too.
