Busting Neo-Nazi Network "Knockout 51" in Eisenach
Inquiries propelled by probes concerning the 'Knockout 51' matter - Investigatory search warrants linked to the probe regarding "Knockout 51" incident.
Welcome to the latest crackdown on far-right extremist group, "Knockout 51." In a joint operation by the Thuringia State Criminal Office and the Gera Public Prosecutor's Office, police swooped down on four suspects, ranging from 18 to 28 years old, in Eisenach. A whopping 100 officers were involved in these raids.
"Knockout 51" is a gang of mainly young, radical far-right extremists who've been trying to rule the roost in Eisenach since 2021. They've been gearing up to transform this town into their very own Nazi haven.
Back in July 2024, the Higher Regional Court of Jena classified "Knockout 51" as a criminal organization. Key members of the group have been given prison sentences, although the verdict isn't final yet due to an appeal lodged by the Federal Prosecutor General.
These recent raids were all about digging up more evidence for the investigation. The officers confiscated digital data carriers that will now be meticulously evaluated. The focus of this operation is concentrating on the charge of forming criminal associations within "Knockout 51's" support network.
It's no secret that "Knockout 51" is a militant neo-Nazi group with violent intentions, particularly towards members of the left-wing extremist scene. Their goal? To eliminate individuals from that milieu. This aggressive stance has garnered significant law enforcement attention and legal proceedings against the group.
