Prince Heinrich XIII of Reuss, an obscure aristocrat, and a group of eight individuals are set to stand trial in Frankfurt for their involvement in a far-right plot to violently overthrow the government. The accused, part of the Reichsbürger movement, believed in a secret alliance and planned to seize power, viewing the government as illegitimate. The group, known as the "United Patriots," amassed weapons and resources for the coup. The trial is expected to shed light on the group's preparations and its alleged links to Russia. The defendants, including retired elite soldiers, a police officer, and a former far-right lawmaker, were involved in planning the insurrection, which aimed to capture top politicians and establish a new regime. The trial is part of a larger crackdown on the increasingly radical Reichsbürger movement, with multiple proceedings underway. The accused face charges of founding a terrorist group and planning to overthrow the government. The extensive organization and meticulous planning behind the coup attempt have been crucial in building the case against the defendants. The prince, although not the founder, played a significant leadership role in the group due to his family's historical ties to German rulers. The trial is expected to be one of the most complex in Germany since the 1960s and may take years before yielding verdicts.
