Title: Left-Wing Extremist on the Run After Allegedly Throwing Molotov Cocktail at Police
The recent events in Dachau, Bavaria, have put the spotlight on a dangerous left-wing extremist who allegedly hurled a Molotov cocktail at police officers on June 3. Known as "Day X," this incident was a reaction to a verdict against a different left-wing extremist earlier in the month.
Throughout Leipzig, protests and riots took place on multiple occasions. Initially planned as a nationwide demonstration, the event on June 3 was ultimately banned by the city of Leipzig. Despite the ban, the mob defied authorities, resulting in violent clashes and numerous incidents of stone-throwing and bottle-hurling towards the police.

The standoff between the police and the protesters reached a life-threatening climax when a Molotov cocktail was thrown at a group of officers from Bavaria. The explosive device ignited near officers, creating a dangerous and potentially fatal blaze close to waist-height.
Identifying the suspect proved challenging, but authorities had quite a few leads. Joris J., a left-wing extremist, and his girlfriend Lisa H., another radical, were under investigation. The authorities were eager to apprehend Joris J. in a quiet manner – opting to arrest both during an appeal trial.
However, only Lisa H. showed up to the court session. Joris J., unfortunately, had disappeared, leaving a trail of chaos in his wake. Masked officers lined the corridors of the courtroom, waiting for the suspect's arrest during a break in the proceedings. Word of the police operation spread quickly, with Lisa H. refusing to leave the courtroom during a break.
H. and her companion are being charged with trespassing in connection with an arson attack on Deutsche Post. The pair is also accused of participating in the occupation of a vacant house in Leipzig's Eisenbahnstraßen district in 2020.
The pressure to find Joris J. and search his private apartments intensified. Before the formal service of a search warrant in court, police officers raided the couple's apartments in Eichendorffstraße and Wurzner Straße – believe it or not, this wasn't their first time searching Eichendorffstraße.
Before the latest raid, investigators from the Saxony State Criminal Police Office (LKA) had searched the house in Eichendorffstraße in March 2023. Concerns about a man named Paul Joscha Müntnich (26) – a member of the "Hammer Gang" – led authorities to the property.
Müntnich and Johann Guntermann (30) are allegedly involved in a left-wing extremist group known as the "Hammer Gang." Coincidentally, Guntermann was previously engaged to Lina E., another radical left-wing extremist. Together with their accomplices, they often targeted right-wing extremists, resulting in severe head injuries in some instances.
While Lina E. has been in custody, Guntermann is believed to be dating another left-wing extremist: Emilie Dieckmann (21). Investigators fear that Joris J. might have joined forces with the "Hammer Gang" – potentially planning new acts of violence.
