German pair suspected of compiling ‘kill list’ of leftists
BERLIN — German authorities raided the homes and workplaces early Monday of a police officer and another suspect on allegations they opposed the country’s policy on migrants and were drawing up a “kill list” of left-wingers.
Federal prosecutors said the searches took place in the northeastern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and were carried out by national police and federal criminal investigators. No arrests were made.
The Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania state Interior Ministry identified one of the suspects as a city police officer from Ludwigslust, about 40 kilometres (25 miles) south of the state capital of Schwerin.
Disciplinary measures against the suspected police officer were taken Monday in connection with the case, the ministry said in a statement without elaborating.
