Germany’s Federal Public Prosecutor on Tuesday announced that at least eight members out of a suspected 15 to 20-large Neo-Nazi group, the “Saxon Separatists,” have been cuffed in raids in the eastern state the crew is named for and in Poland, state broadcaster DPA International reports.
“This is a militant group consisting of 15 to 20 people, whose ideology is characterized by racist, anti-Semitic and, in part apocalyptic ideas,” the prosecutor’s office said in a statement. Properties in Austria were also being searched by German cops for the rest of the group’s members.
