Citizens of the Reich: Raids and suspicion as German group grows

[Collection]The "Kingdom of Germany," led by Peter Fitzek, a self-declared king, challenges the legitimacy of modern Germany, forming the Reichsbuerger movement. With over 5,000 adherents, this group establishes its own laws, currency, and health system, advocating non-smoking, non-drinking, and anti-vaccination beliefs. Authorities have raided their sites suspecting illegal financial activities. The movement, growing in numbers, faces accusations of violent plots against the state. While mostly originating from socially disadvantaged backgrounds, concerns arise about their potential ties to right-wing elements.
