Raids across the country, anti-vaxxers planned to assassinate the prime minister?

According to the media, his execution was planned by anti-vaxxers.

The raids in Dresden were aimed at individuals, members of the "Dresden Offline Network" group, which used the Telegram application to exchange messages about plans for the murder, the police announced.

The searches were carried out after the statements of the members of the group on the Telegram, which indicated that they might have weapons, the police stated.

In Saxony, which has the second highest coronavirus infection rate in Germany and the lowest vaccination rate, several protests by opponents of restrictive measures have been held in recent weeks. A spokesman for the Provincial Criminal Service (LKA), Tom Bernard, said that the searches of the suspects have been carried out since this morning as part of the investigation against persons who are suspected of a serious crime of preparation for endangering the state. Five people are the subject of the police action - one woman (34) and four men aged 32 to 64 from Dresden.

The investigation is being conducted against members of the group on the Telegram network "Dresden offline networking", who allegedly also possess weapons. One of the persons, who was searched, committed, as it was announced, an additional criminal offense of insulting police officers and resisting the executive authorities.

The German public service ZDF announced recently that specific plans for assassination were shared with the group on Telegram, in connection with the discussion on the introduction of mandatory vaccination. The state prosecutor's office in Dresden launched an investigation into this news. The target of the attack, Kretschmer, said that all legal means must be used against such persons, so that public office holders can work and express their opinion without fear.

Politicians in Saxony have long been the target of the activities of extreme right-wingers and anti-vaxxers.

Thus, at the beginning of this month, a larger group of anti-vaxxers came in front of the private house of the Minister of Health of Saxony, Petra Keppening, carrying torches and drums. Saxony Interior Minister Roland Weller said it was an attack on democracy.
