“Police have raided around 50 homes and other locations, targeting people suspected of involvement in far-right criminal youth groups that have recently emerged in Germany. Prosecutors said the suspects were believed to be part of two groups, ‘Jung & Stark’ (JS), or Young and Strong, and ‘Deutsche Jugend Voran’ (DJV), which means Forwards German Youth. No arrests were made in Wednesday’s raids, which took place in 12 states, mainly in the east and south of Germany, including Bavaria, Berlin, Brandenburg and Saxony. In a statement, federal prosecutors said the raids targeted individuals suspected of organising violence through social media and forming nationwide networks. ‘Some of the accused are said to have attacked members of the left-wing scene or people they believed to be paedophiles. In each case, the victims were beaten by several attackers and sustained significant injuries,’ prosecutors said.” (05/06/26)
