A German court sentenced five individuals for conspiring to abduct Health Minister Karl Lauterbach as part of a broader plot to destabilize the nation. The defendants aimed to use bomb attacks to incite chaos and ultimately sought to erase Germany's current democratic framework to reinstate the Imperial Constitution of 1871. Their group, 'Vereinte Patrioten' (United Patriots), was labeled a terrorist organization. The trial lasted nearly two years, with sentences ranging from five years and nine months to eight years being issued to four male defendants, and a two years and 10 months sentence for a 77-year-old woman deemed the group’s political mastermind.
