Accounts seized – Raid all over Germany against the last generation

The charge is “education and support of a criminal organization”. The investigations are led by the Munich Public Prosecutor’s Office. She takes action against seven suspects. According to the “Spiegel”, they are accused of having raised about 1.4 million euros through donations. Most of the amount was said to have been spent on criminal activities. There would also have been attempts to sabotage the oil pipeline between Trieste and Ingolstadt.

In December there was already a raid across Germany against climate activists. At the time, there were several attacks on the PCK Schwedt refinery. Among other things, the oil supply was interrupted. In some cases it was just an attempt. The suspicion of forming a criminal organization could be aroused if the suspect repeatedly committed crimes, the Brandenburg public prosecutor stated at the time. There is currently a debate in several states about whether the last generation is a criminal organization or not.

BfV chairman Thomas Haldenwang emphasized in March: “The Office for the Protection of the Constitution is carefully monitoring how the situation is developing every day.”
