Accounts seized – Raid all over Germany against the last generation

Date:

On Wednesday morning, there was a raid across Germany against climate activists of the last generation. According to media reports, a total of 15 homes were searched and several people arrested in Bavaria, Berlin, Hamburg, Hesse, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Schleswig-Holstein. Bank accounts were seized.

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.

Bureau for the Protection of the Constitution: last generation not yet extremist
Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) currently sees insufficient evidence to classify the group as extremist. The fact that the group sometimes acts criminally does not change that. 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.”
