Thuringen: Searches Against Supporters of Extreme Right-Wing Fighting Group
Thuringia: Raid on Followers of Neo-Nazi Martial Arts Association - Far-right martial arts group's sympathizers under police investigation in Thuringia
You ready for a lowdown on a wild bust in Thueringen? Here's the skinny: Cops are digging into four individuals aged between 18 and 28, two males and two females, for forming a criminal clique. Over a hundred officers from the LKA, the riot squad, and the state police, accompanied by three police dogs, went in on the operation, so you know it's serious. They're sifting through the evidence now.
This neo-Nazi gang has been on the police and judicial radar for a spell. They're said to have brewed in the Thuringian cities of Eisenach and Erfurt, but they're not just local lads; they got themselves wrestling in the wider right-wing extremist scene.
Some say they lure young, puffed-up nationalist dudes under the guise of joint combat training, fill their heads with right-wing extremist gobbledygook, and get 'em battle-ready for roughing up police, lefty supporters, and other agitators. According to the feds, these guys were aiming to rub out lefty extremists since at least spring of 2021.
Back in July 2024, allegedly four members of the Kampfsportgruppe received their just desserts – prison or juvenile detention – from the Thuringian Higher Regional Court (OLG) in Jena. The ruling's still pending confirmation. Last week, another trial against two suspected members and a supporter of Knockout 51 got underway at the OLG.
