A German court sentenced two accomplices to prison for their involvement in a coup plot by the far-right 'United patriots' group. Earlier, four members were jailed for planning to kidnap Health Minister Karl Lauterbach. In this trial, a 53-year-old man was sentenced to two years and eight months for technical support, while a 34-year-old woman received two and a half years for facilitating the group’s activities. Their actions were linked to the larger 'Citizens of the Reich' movement, which rejects the legitimacy of the current German state and promotes conspiratorial ideologies, particularly amidst pandemic-era restrictions.
The ‘United patriots’ aimed to create conditions for a ‘civil war’ and appoint a new leader, opposing democratic values and denying the German government's legitimacy.
The man identified high-voltage power lines as part of their plan to attack Germany's electricity grid, resulting in a two years and eight months sentence.
