All the individual cases is there an actual net was he just done its work ammunition from special police units has ended up with the right wing extremists but official investigations of the situation have stalled. Thus taught us that tolerance i believe the public now trust the police less than it used to mine as transit reports indicate that plans for a coup attempt against the German Government have already been drafted. In these documents the start date is called day 6. And the security authorities have to take this seriously to maintain the Publics Trust in our constitutional state engine you know. But are they doing enough to crack down on right wing extremists among soldiers and police and their plans to disrupt the government. This is the village of bonds co in the eastern state of mecklenburg for palma in the summer of 2017 special federal police unit searched a number of homes here. And one house officers found more than 50000. 00 rounds of ammunition and several weapons. The home belonged to marco jean a former member of an elite state police unit. He was charged with a number of weapons violations and went on trial and late 2019. Marco g. Told the court that he was simply preparing for a possible catastrophe. And several associates had formed a group called North Koreans. At the eve of the investigation showed that the group had also stocked up on supplies of quicklime and body bags that and saw it in. A state Police Report concluded that marco g. Represented a potential threat to the state its at the cavendish to undo it every view of his chant traffic clearly reveals his right wing extremist and xenophobia views and the court determined that he had rejected the constitutional principles of the german state eked out marco g. Was convicted and sentenced to 21 months probation. Several of his friends were in court to hear the decision. Among them was juergen s who had received an important email from him and 2016. And hes an awfully stunned the message said that over the last 16 months a network of right wingers had been established across europe and that nearly 2000 potential members had been contacted or will pop tut. But does this network actually exist can the german people still trust the police and the military the bun despair your fondest. Wish to pursue mention ons on their own isnt couple times its a house. On. Time. Weve come to southern germany to follow up on a lead theyre supposed to be an extremist right wing group here that allegedly has ties to the elite a boom is fair unit the car as car. Were looking for a member of that group a weapons dealer called el when we find him he agrees to an interview provided we dont show his face. As a former soldier he says he 1st met the conspirators in 2015 when a member of the car as car invited him to a meeting of like minded individuals the group is said to have included soldiers and Police Officers this work and for that was not the meeting and. Then where im not going to say hes at the barracks incog youve got good sources because calm barracks and call of is a high security area. And if i the man who invited him to the meeting as andre s also known to some Group Members as. Refugee move a stroke we were impressed that he could organize a meeting with the 1st before im sure the l claims that another meeting someone suggested that on day x. 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 lands. 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 andre asked a poker l. Asking him to design an identification badges for a Certain Group leaders. The badges featured a skull and crossbones and a logo that stood for day x. The groups organizational efforts were clearly well advanced. By 2015 entre as another cause com 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 com 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 ira lets mass murders here we started. Into that situation after general bryan hunt consul was appointed commander in 2000 and later he was accused of making inappropriate public remarks and was removed from his post in that last match. But critics claim that these problems have persisted and the government has failed to address them. To fall when. We need to take a long hard look at the role of the. Office its simply not acceptable for them to claim that they cant be investigated because they are engaged in classified operations biskit mission. Allowing extremism to flourish stronger to my hide behind this scheme are i sometimes you can have too much secrecy and that can cause problems all shot at. Our Research Indicates that andre ass and marco g. Were actively planning a coup attempt. We track down a day x. Mobilization plan allegedly drafted in 2016 that includes maps showing where the conspirators were to gather when they got the go ahead from their commanders. Here at a military Training Ground in the state of boston 4 to back. The cause cause has carried out legitimate exercises here. The day x. Headquarters was said to be located in a small building like this one. The plan included code words and radio frequency. Group members were to identify themselves by rolling up their left shirtsleeve. Personnel will assemble at south alpha gray. This area will serve as a transfer point for the secret Operations Center these instructions must be carried out to the letter. The site is believed to have been chosen by folk at bell. 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. Heres fute cuts part mission because of all the transportation would play a big role in these sorts of situations 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 parked just cut numbers since you got your countrys. 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. Politicians and refugee aid workers were then to be executed. Marco g. Recruited that group member himself. This is fair game capital of the state of mecklenburg for paula. Preparations for a military parade are underway. Were going to meet derek freed rizieq a bonus pair veteran and social democrat member of the state parliament. Hes been warning for years that north croyde 60 midsts have infiltrated local Military Reserve units to ship the country in the civil in the salon little i cant understand why the investigation is taking so long as usual and that its been dragging on and on. And if you take a look at recent events youll realize that we have to get to the bottom of this right away. We need to clean house 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. A euro Fighter Squadron is stationed there. When the Squadron Commander left his job and 2019 invited your guests 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 Counterintelligence Service and they wouldnt talk to us either. Just sort of believe me of what this is a high Security Military base and home to some of the buddhas vez most sophisticated weapon systems its in this situation has to be thorough investigated physical fitness we identified a further associate of marco g. 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 for notes is a member of the bundestag Oversight Panel thats responsible for germanys intelligence agencies. That truly shut i see the possibility of a coup attempt even during the pandemic may seem unlikely inside but we still have to take it seriously and react accordingly and special. Our Research Indicates that many of the alleged isolated cases in the police and the military are connected. For example volga l. The weapons dealer confirmed that the group led by andrea s. Had contact with the bone despair officer called bronco a. And that 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 and voice from the both of us and visits. The men at the same palace was franco a who in 2017 burst through attention to right wing extremism in the german military. Did it. For over a year he posed as a syrian refugee. In 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 a triggering event. You should destroy the entire system. A struggle for owning a gun for god 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 bronco 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 what funk or. A was believed to have been preparing an attack that with then be attributed to islamists or leftists or whomever the orderly and the north crites group was considering similar measures time they figured that a provocation might be the best way to get things moving then as least 1000 posse at zakia for. 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 us he go from 0 to just a fancy food so these were military grade rounds its a concept here they have a very high penetration capability solution to quite effective against a wide variety of targets hes as this has nothing to do with self defense which does offensive as it was wonderful mosque in his moods these rounds can penetrate body armor so we can assume that they might be used against Police Officers and Security Forces insurgency now im getting pretty tired out into forts of being. To find out where the ammunition came from you have to look for the specific lot number on the package. Is often limited to instruct your arm from even with containers of 500 or 1000 rounds and youll find individual packages like these and i didnt pick one and a lot number is always stand on the bottom of each round as a. 0 but all. These countries as a shift to the appropriate department which then hands them out to individual offices would be and frequently and the departments keep a record as it so you can quickly determine when the ammunition came in and when it went down just now of conifer and despite our prosecutors are still try. Figure out how the police could lose track of so much ammo this article of course we contacted the relevant authorities and asked for specific information on the investigation is still underway and if you. 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 admitted in an email that the rounds had indeed come from the state 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 and bavaria the u. S. Caught. We go to munich to meet a very in Parliament Member florian ritter. We wanted to find out whether he was aware of any contacts between the us and the right wingers. To chivvy a foreign several us come. Members were recently investigated for allegedly sharing objectionable content on chat apps officials determined that some of that content might have been anti semitic. After learning that ammunition from bavaria had been submitted as evidence in a criminal trial and sherene bridger filed a written request demanding that the authorities explain the situation. 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. Vs connections between the North Koreans group and bavaria and thats a problems for those. With dealing with a terrorist network here if weapons or any initial in from federal varian sources. Network then we have to find out how thats happening. In solution. The German Government has to protect itself against such threats. You cant just close your eyes and post that the problem will go away. That would be extremely dangerous again. Few mins most. 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. Into. Its we also have to protect the officials who were sworn to uphold the german constitution and to protect democratic way of life. To commence its beauty of to see if we dont do that we will expose those officials to a public debate that they really dont deserve to be part of deceit and you switch to. The discovery of the ammunition that had been stored and turned into a National Scandal for the police and the bone despair. But most of the investigative work was left to prosecutors and. A private shooting range. Provided even more clues. For years and structures from several police units attended shooting competitions there. Including some of the units from which marco cheap got his ammunition. The events were authorized by mechlin borgs interior ministry and organized by a civilian who turned them into a kind of weapons trade fair. State interior minister laurence coffey was the competitions patron and often attended the events himself and 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 koreas instructions to moscow. 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 specific if. Weve been trying to find out more about north courts and the cousteau shooting range system that wed like to talk to mr coffey about that but no one has responded to our requests or an interview and i really really it. 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 because said shed be back you have to leave now. A moment but she said shed be back yes please leave the building as if she promised to talk to us as complete leave the building for us and it was a pity. The minister seems to be stonewalling us. The federal interior minister hoarse 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 federal 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 that it can you explain why the investigations are going nowhere its like no i cant why not. Jim ive been studying this process for a long time ones and i still cant understand why its taking so long but into when country doesnt cancel as enough it seems homelessness is bribed him as a miss in the skiff 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 off suburban the interior ministry has announced new measures to fight right wing extremism. This is. The chief norton week of we have to play an active role in this effort was even more so than the rest of the government. School miserable because she wanted to survive. So is a coup attempt really possible. Doesnt it was last 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 the police virtually each inmate in book 4 palm if i were in mecklenburg for palmer and. My family think twice about it all shots as fast as christmas family. So have the authorities successfully tackled this threat. So i know the 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 you feel is tied to the. Right wing extremists continue to involve trade germanys Security Apparatus and the government needs to do more to stop them they pose a serious threat to democracy. Eco india.
