German police raid homes of suspected far-right extremists

German police raided the homes of suspected members of a far-right group in Berlin and in the states of Brandenburg and Thueringia on Sunday, searching for weapons, the chief federal prosecutor's office said. The homes of eight people suspected of founding a far-right terrorist group were searched in the raids, the federal prosecutor's office said in a statement. The investigators believe the suspects are members of the Reichsbuerger (Citizens of the Reich) group, who do not recognize modern-day Germany as a legitimate state and insist the former, far larger "Deutsche Reich" is still alive despite Nazi Germany's defeat in World War Two.
