Three men arrested in Germany in suspected far-right Reichsbuerger plot probe

Three men were arrested in Bavaria on Thursday as part of an investigation into the far-right Reichsbuerger group, suspected of plotting to violently overthrow the last German government and the constitutional order, Munich prosecutors said.
The Reichsbuerger (Citizens of the Reich) movement rejects modern German democracy as illegitimate and its followers argue they are citizens of a monarchy that endured after Germany’s defeat in World War One, despite its formal abolition. Dozens of members, whose leaders include German aristocrat and property investor Heinrich XIII Prince Reuss, are on trial across Germany after the suspected plot was uncovered in 2022.
The defendants have denied charges of terrorism and high treason.
