State adversary allegedly issues threats to a judicial official.
In a significant development, a 71-year-old man was arrested in Carinthia, Austria on Monday morning. The suspect is believed to be a key figure in the "Federal State of Prussia," a group that denies the legitimacy of the Republic of Austria and aims to undermine its institutions.
The man is suspected of being actively involved in anti-state activities since 2023. Police take his connections with state deniers in Germany very seriously. He is accused of threatening a judge to prevent a criminal investigation and has allegedly inundated authorities with numerous written statements and participated in meetings of the anti-state scene.
The "Federal State of Prussia" seeks to undermine the institutions of the Republic of Austria through targeted actions. The location of the meetings is not disclosed due to ongoing investigations.
The arrest was made at the Klagenfurt detention center following an order from the Klagenfurt Public Prosecutor's Office. During a search of the 71-year-old's residence, documents and digital data carriers were seized, but no weapons were found.
Interestingly, the suspect was accompanied by a 64-year-old German who considered himself a "consul" and carried a fantasy ID. An entry ban was issued against the 64-year-old German.
The arrest was not the only incident in Carinthia, as seven burglars were also arrested after five break-ins. The burglars were part of an Italian gang involved in a police chase after the break-ins.
It is important to note that the suspect is also associated with the "Reich citizen scene" since 2023, a group that has been linked to several cases in Germany of armed attacks on police officers. The arrest of the 71-year-old suspect will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the ongoing investigations into the activities of this group.
The "Federal State of Prussia" and its historical development are closely linked to key figures like Otto von Bismarck, who played a central role in Prussia’s unification of Germany and the establishment of a federal empire under Prussian dominance in the 19th century. Bismarck’s goals were to unite the various German states into a federation led by Prussia, using conservative political strategy and military strength through three key wars.
In Prussian history, earlier reforms under figures like Stein, Hardenberg, and Frederick William III after Prussia’s defeat by Napoleon set the stage for modernizing the state and military, which made possible Prussia’s rise as a dominant German power. The Hohenzollern dynasty, notably Frederick II (the Great), strengthened Prussia militarily and administratively into a European great power.
Prussia’s rivalry and alliance-building with Austria shaped all key 19th-century conflicts leading to German unification. The Austro-Prussian War (1866) resulted in Prussian victory and the exclusion of Austria from German affairs, after which Prussia expanded its influence over northern Germany. Austria was sometimes an ally (e.g., during the war against Denmark in 1864) but ultimately the main rival for dominance of the German states. After unification, the Prussian state largely merged into the German Empire under the Hohenzollern monarchy and Bismarck’s chancellorship.
In summary, the arrest of the 71-year-old suspect in Austria marks a significant development in the ongoing investigations into the activities of the "Federal State of Prussia" and its associates.
