BERLIN (Reuters) - German security services have identified dozens of public servants, including in the police and army, as belonging to a far-right movement that denies the existence of the very republic they serve, the weekly Der Spiegel magazine said.
A report drawn up by the security services estimates there is a high double-digit number of public servants who belong to the Reichsbuerger, or Citizens of the Reich, a mystical nationalist movement which maintains that the Reich continued after Germanys defeat in World War Two, Spiegel reported.
Investigations are underway against 11 members of Bavarias state police, five of whom have been suspended from duty. There have also been 11 cases in Germanys Federal Police and four of them have had their service weapons confiscated, Spiegel said.
Up to five cases have been identified in the armed forces.
