A group of suspected coup plotters has gone on trial in the German city of Frankfurt. The so-called Reichsburger, meaning citizens of the Reich, were arrested in December 2022 during nationwide raids. Their plot included imposing harsh military law over Germany after a coup. This is the second such trial to get underway, following that of the group’s alleged military wing, which began at the end of April. Among those on trial is Heinrich the 13th Prince Reuss – one of the leaders of the group, who was allegedly intending to head an interim German government. And a former AfD member of the Bundestag, Birgit Malsack-Winkemann. Altogether, Germany’s federal prosecutor has charged 27 suspects.
