Police search locations in 12 states, mainly in the East and South of the country in what prosecutors say is a targeted raid.
German police conducted raids targeting individuals suspected of involvement in far-right criminal youth groups, including 'Jung & Stark' and 'Deutsche Jugend Voran', across 12 states, mainly in the east and south of Germany. No arrests were made during the operation, which involved over 600 federal and state police officers. The groups are accused of organizing violence through social media and forming nationwide networks. Authorities are concerned about the rise of neo-Nazi youth groups and their activities.
