Germany prohibits the extremist movement and arrested a self -applauded “king” Peter

Self -applanted “king” of Germany and three of his senior “objects” were arrested and their group was banned from an attempt to overthrow the state.

The 59 -year -old Peter Fishek was among those arrested in the morning attacks in seven states on Tuesday, involving about 800 security officers.

The government has banned their group, Reichsburger, or Reich citizens, which seeks to create Königrei Deutscheland, or “Kingdom of Germany.”

Alexander Dobrind, the German Interior Minister, accused the group of trying to “undermine the rule of law” by creating an alternative condition and spreading “anti -Semitic stories of conspiracy to support its alleged power claim.”

His ministry announced the termination of the group and accused him of financing through “economic criminal structures”.

Fishek, a former chef and karate instructor, calls himself a “king” and identifies himself to the judges as “Peter the First” in a previous lawsuit.

He himself was crowned in 2012 as he dressed in Hermine clothes and smeared a medieval sword. Since then, he has been buying land and property in Germany.

Reichsbürgers have their own currency, flag and identity cards and want to create separate banking and health systems.

Fishek claims that there are thousands of followers – or “objects”.

In an interview with the BBC in 2022, he denied having some violent intentions, but also described the German state as “destructive and sick”.

“I have no interest in being part of this fascist and satanic system,” he told Jenna Hill on the BBC when she visited his “kingdom” in East GermanyS

Fishek has repeatedly encountered the authorities and refuses to comply with German laws, often in what he seems to be in the search for publicity.

Previously, he was closed for repeated driving without a certificate after deciding to convey his back in symbolic rejection of the law. At the end of a trial session, Fishek was seen entering his car in court and withdrawing.

Sisk is One of about 25,000 Reichsbürger in GermanyS The numbers have grown in the last few years.

Many are right -wing extremists who exchange racist and anti -Semitic conspiracy theories. They refuse to acknowledge the authority of security forces and many have illegal weapons, which led to shootings with the police. Officials say about 2500 are potentially violent and that 1350 are classified as right -wing extremists.

In 2022, dozens of people were arrested, many of whom Reichsburger conspired to overthrow the German government in Berlin. They were accused of planning a violent coup that included the abduction of the Minister of Health to create a “Civil War” conditions to overthrow German democracy.

In the past, Reichsburger was often fired as eccentric overdrawn because of their foreign ideas.

But as the far right has grown politically in Germany over the last decade, employees are now considering them as a serious threat.

The Karlsruhe Federal Prosecutor’s Office said Fisek was arrested along with three other suspects of the group, which she classified as a criminal organization.

As “the so -called supreme sovereign”, Fishek had “control and decision -making in all key areas,” the office said.

“” The Kingdom of Germany “is considered a sovereign state within the meaning of international law and seeks to expand its stated” national territory “to the boundaries of the German Empire of 1871,” a statement added.
