An extremist group accused of attacks at refugee homes and against left-leaning politicians is on trial starting this week, facing charges of terrorism. The seven men and one woman face charges of starting a terror cell, attempted murder, causing grievous bodily harm, causing explosions and property damage. To communicate, they used the messaging app KakaoTalk and exchanged hateful slogans like: “We are Nazis until the bitter end”. When speaking about assassination plans, the group members used special terms often related to fruits for explosive devices and detonating agents: “We need a really big fruit”, or “two giant apples, two normal ones”. In the defendants’ apartments, police discovered around 300 Czech pyrotechnic explosive devices, which are forbidden in Germany for their extreme force.
