On Wednesday, security forces in Germany, Poland and Spain carried out raids aimed at suspected operators of a right‑wing extremist publishing house. In Germany, searches were conducted at eight sites across Brandenburg, Baden‑Württemberg, Saxony, Bavaria and North Rhine‑Westphalia, the RBB reported. Polish investigators targeted a printing press, while in Spain a warehouse and the private and business premises linked to a Brandenburg extremist serving a prison sentence in Germany and his wife were also searched.
The operation also aimed at eight additional suspects, including a printing shop owner, a graphic designer, an IT specialist and the proprietor of a business centre. An international arrest warrant is in place for the publisher, who is believed to have fled to Russia years ago and is now running the enterprise from there.
According to prosecutors, the accused allegedly produced and distributed hundreds of hate‑speech publications between 2022 and 2024.
