The coup participants should take over the college barracks and seize the weapons stored there. After our meeting with bowker al someone else associated with the group gives us a hard drive filled with alarming photographs and plans. The data indicates that folk or al had been organizing training exercises since 2014. This activity included preparations for sabotaging bridges. We also find an email from andrea asked of poker pal asking him to design an identification badges for Certain Group leaders.

By 2015 andrzej as another cause come embers had set up a north korean chat group assigning various tasks to individual members and recruiting new supporters the network spread across germany. Members of the elite Commando Force appeared to have been actively preparing for the day x. Operation. Are these isolated cases. Some say that the cause come military units have a fundamental problem with right wing activity and that this dates back to the founding of the organization and 1996 and one of its 1st commanders i am lets mass murders here we started.

This site is believed to have been chosen by folks. Some of the buildings here are used as artillery practice targets. The operation also called for taking over a vehicle storage site and. We couldnt find anything about that in our copy of the plan but one expert speculates on what the conspirators might have had in mind. Here spirit cuts partly because of all the transportation would play a big role in these sorts of situations and especially in a north kreutzer operation. They would have to move their own troops around and they may also have a plan to arrest potential opponents and to do that you need vehicles including trucks apartment just cut numbers since with the economies. One group member proposed that such enemies be rounded up on day x. And transported and military trucks past any police roadblocks. The presenters said to include leftists f. T. P.

And if you take a look at recent events youll realize that we have to get to the bottom of this right away its nuclear we need to clean house it would like to been. One of marco g. s close contacts a former east german soldier named your guess is not facing charges at this time in 2016 the 2 exchanged a series of emails that indicates that it was your guess who set up the Meeting Point in bahrain located near a military training area. In fact our research has allowed us to establish the outline of an entire network of such points your gas is also a sergeant in the bone despair reserve. Many of the other conspirators are also alleged to be reservists york served for some time at the air force base at all stock laca a euro Fighter Squadron is stationed there. When the Squadron Commander left his job and 2019 invited york yes to his official farewell celebration despite the fact that he was already known to federal authorities as a suspected right wing extremist. We wanted to discuss this with the new Squadron Commander but base of facials referred us to the Defense Ministry no one there would talk to us about the case. We also contacted the military Counter Intelligence service and they wouldnt talk to us either it. Was just sort of you leave me alone this is a high Security Military base and home to some of the buddhism as most sophisticated weapon systems its in this situation has to be thorough investigated schools etc we identified a further associate of marco ji and the court amin p. 2 trains 0 Fighter Pilots at the rostock air base. How have those suspected of supporting a right wing Antigovernment Movement managed to gain access to high Security Military sites. Constantine found notes as a member of the buddhist todd Oversight Panel thats responsible for germanys intelligence agencies. And that truly shut eye in the possibility of a coup attempt even sure in the pandemic may seem unlikely inside but we still have to take it seriously and react accordingly and specially. Our Research Indicates that many of the alleged isolated cases in the police and the military are connected. For example volga el the weapons dealer confirmed that the group led by andre ass had contact with the bones as fire officer called bronco a. In the so he was at the safe house he was there yes. After standoff on one occasion he took me aside. Before and asked how he could get his hands on a weapon in germany though it sounds as though the victims often visits. The men at the say palace was wrong a who in 2017 1st drew attention to right wing extremism in the german military. For over a year he posed as a syrian refugee. And its decision on his case the German Supreme Court cited a number of extremist statements that he made. People do not accept the greatest truth if it is not connected with the triggering event. You should destroy the entire system. Is double for i knew from them for i believe that from the very beginning these people believed at least to a certain extent that day x. Could actually take place and they trying to find ways to make it happen. In early 2017 broncos a was in vienna. At the airport he had a weapon in a Public Toilet and then posted the location to his whatsapp group. The group also included other soldiers. He was arrested when he tried to retrieve the gun. That evening an annual ball sponsored by austrias right wing Freedom Party was to be held. The event often draws lots of demonstrators. Investigators believe that bronco intended to carry out an attack there he believed that since he was registered as a refugee many would blame the crime on the immigrant community. Thats not fun call our troops go and was believed to have been preparing an attack that within the attributed to islamists or leftists or whomever system would only and the north crites group was considering similar measures they figured that a provocation might be the best way to get things moving then a sneeze for an almost impossible time zakia a few. Cases like this have prompted speculation about what marco g. Actually intended to do with the stockpile of weapons and ammunition that he kept at his house and where he got all that ammo. Marco didnt respond to our requests for an interview so we go to visit him and dansko a woman who answers the door refuses to talk to us. Despairing Prosecutors Office has determined that much of the ammunition came from going to spare and police warehouses. Its actually quite easy to determine the origins of this kind of ammo if you know what to look for. We talked to someone who does. This for to go from 0 to just offense from its base will military grade rounds its a concept here they have a very high penetration capability solution to quite effective against a wide variety of targets as lucky as this has nothing to do with self defense so it does offensive doesnt respond of an austin as minutes these rounds can penetrate body armor so we can assume that they might be used against Police Offices and Security Forces insertions him out and getting pretty tired bound to forts again. To find out where the ammunition came from you have to look for the specific lot number on the package. Its often limited to instruct your arm from even with can. Tain is a 500. 00 or 1000 rounds and youll find individual packages like the canadian part and the lot number is always stand on the bottom of each round as a. Sieve but all. These countries as a shift to the appropriate department so which then hands them out to individual offices would be and for the lives of the departments keep a record is issued so you can quickly determine when the ammunition came in and when it went else is going to find a spot on prosecutors are still trying to figure out how the police could lose track of so much ammo. Katic left course we contacted the relevant authorities and asked for specific information on the investigation is still underway and. We try to figure out for ourselves where the ammunition came from the results are startling. The rounds had originally been supplied to bone despair and elite police units all over germany for example 1200 cartridges were traced back to the state of north rhinewestphalia. We find out that special police units from dusseldorf cologne in dortmund often trained in the wide open spaces of mechlin ball for bomb and. Did any of the officers have contact with markos group. We want to talk to the authorities and do spork who distribute ammunition to individual departments. They declined to be interviewed but later admit in an email that the rounds had indeed come from the States Police stockpiles. North rhinewestphalia has now revised its ammunition Distribution System but its still not clear who was actually responsible for handing over the rounds to an authorized individuals. The Officials Say they cant comment on an ongoing criminal investigation. 100 other cartridges that later turned up in marcos stockpile were determined to have come from an elite police unit in bavaria the us car. We go to munich to meet barry and Parliament MemberFlorian Ritter we wanted to find out whether he was aware of any contacts between the us car and the right wingers. To chivvy of several us can members were recently investigated for allegedly sharing objectionable content on chat apps dean officials determined that some of that content might have been anti semitic. And. After learning that ammunition from bavaria had been submitted as evidence in a criminal trial and sherene ritter filed a written request demanding that the authorities explain the situation the un votes for them to show the answer that i got from the interior ministry was astonishing they said that no ammunition had gone missing. But prosecutors and bean have been able to prove just the opposite. The various state premier marcus souter apparently has little interest in pursuing this potentially explosive matter. Connections between the North Koreans group and bavaria and thats a problems for. Him with dealing with a terrorist network here if weapons from federal varian sources. Network then we have to find out how thats happening. In solution. With the German Government has to protect itself against such threats. You cant just close your eyes and post but the problem will go away. That would be extremely dangerous in. Mainz masi. We finally managed to get the various state criminal Police Office to admit that prosecutors are investigating the situation. But they declined to comment further and they certainly didnt want to talk on camera citing the ongoing criminal investigation. Should we also have to protect the officials who were sworn to uphold the german constitution and to protect our democratic way of life. To commence its beauty of this if we dont do that we will expose those officials to a public debate that they really dont deserve to be part of the swift. The discovery of the ammunition that had been stored and turned into a National Scandal for the police and the bone to spare. But most of the investigative work was left to prosecutors in. A private shooting range and. Provided even more clues. For years and structures from several police units attended shooting competitions there. Including some of the units from which marco g. Got his ammunition. The events were authorized by mechlin borks interior ministry and organized by a civilian who turned them into a kind of weapons trade fair. State interior minister normans copy was the competitions patron and often attended the events himself. We visit the shooting range and may 2019 and talk to the people who run it. Since then weve learned that some of them had close ties to the North Koreans group and marco g. Who went there for shooting practice evidence presented at this 15 trial indicated that the ranges owner frank t. Passed along north quotes instructions to marco. The better we can communicate the easier it will be for us to meet on day x. But until then we have to keep a low profile. And. State interior minister coffee also met often with frank t. At the shooting competitions. To the minister notice anything unusual at these events. The ministry has set up a commission to investigate all this its not yet clear how much progress theyve made. So we contact the ministry for more information and they dont respond to our requests so we decide to go there in person. Name he said if. That ive been trying to find out more about north courts and the shooting range system wed like to talk to mr coffey about that but no one has responded to our requests for an interview and im really relieved. You know maybe we could talk to you about it ill see what i can do as ok. A few minutes later a Security Guard arrives please leave the building. No interview no please leave hes already been misled has said shed be back you have to leave now. I meant but she said shed be back yes oh please leave the building as if she promised to talk to us as complete leave the building with us and just look at. The minister seems to be stonewalling us the federal interior minister horse to say all 4 wont talk to us about right wing extremists either officials at the Defense Ministry tell us that they are pursuing a 0 tolerance policy on right wing extremism but its the better all Prosecutors Office that should be tackling these cases they say that they have no evidence that andre ass or marco g. Were members of a terrorist organization could be discussed in madrid can you explain why the investigations are going nowhere no icons why not. To my thin studying this process for a long time whines and i still cant understand why its taking so long but into when can it doesnt cancel as enough that simple missiles as bribed him as im missing the sca fruit i think that sometimes the authorities are just being cautious because this situation has attracted so much attention they dont want to cause trouble if you stop suburban the interior ministry has announced new measures to fight right wing extremism. This is. The touche motor uneek of we have to play an active role in this effort was even more so than the rest of the government. Has been a civil because tate its about. So is a coup attempt really possible. Doesnt it was just after this is like a cancer thats growing in our society because it undermines the Publics Trust in the people who are supposed to protect us when people feel that theyre in some sort of danger they may now feel uncomfortable about calling a colleagues verdes each inmate in book 4 palm if i were in mecklenburg for palmer. My family think twice about it as far as if it was family. So have the authorities successfully tackled this threat he advised mr bond so no threat remains its important to stress that the right wing structures are still in place as they have been for decades in germany and a highly dangerous and a fearless tides of the. Right wing extremists continue to end the trade germanys Security Apparatus and the government needs to do more to stop them they pose a serious threat to democracy.
