Nine in Germany, accused of ‘Reichsbuerger’ coup plot, go on trial

A defendant covers his face at the start of a trial for a suspected 'Reichsbuerger' plot to overthrow Germany's democracy in a courtroom in Frankfurt, Germany, on May 21.A would-be prince, a former judge and parliamentarian, and retired military officers were among nine alleged conspirators who went on trial on Tuesday for a suspected “Reichsbuerger” plot to overthrow Germany’s democracy.

The high-profile case, in a maximum-security courtroom on the outskirts of Frankfurt erected for the trial, is the second to open against members of a conspiracy suspected of involving at least 27 people. Prosecutors say the defendants are adherents of the “Reichsbuerger” belief system. It holds that today’s German state is an illegitimate facade and that they are citizens of a monarchy which, they maintain, endured after Germany’s defeat in World War One despite its formal abolition.

Nine accomplices who prosecutors say would have imposed martial law after a putsch went on trial in Stuttgart last month.
