BERLIN — German authorities have indicted eight far-right extremists on suspicion they planned to start a violent uprising.
Federal prosecutors said Friday that they have formally indicted the German men, aged 21 to 31, on suspicion of forming a terrorist organization.
The suspects were arrested last year in eastern Germany’s Chemnitz area. They are alleged to have formed a group calling itself “Revolution Chemnitz.”
Several of the suspects are alleged to have been involved in an attack on a group of migrants in Chemnitz on Sept. 14.
