Per a New York Times report, over two-dozen individuals were arrested in Germany on December 7, 2022 for an alleged attempt to overthrow the government.
Approximately 3,000 German police and Special Forces officers were involved in the operation to arrest individuals believed to be a part of a domestic terrorist organization established in late 2021, Reichsbürger [Citizens of the Reich] movement, which plotted to overthrow the current German government and establish their own state.
Per prosecutors, the group is of the view that “Germany is currently ruled by members of a so-called deep state” that needs to be deposed.
Two other individuals connected to the organization were arrested outside of Germany — one in Austria and the other in Italy. In total, 52 suspects are currently being investigated.
