The investigations against the right -wing extremists “Saxon separatists” expand. After a ammunition find in Austria, another man is being investigated.

In Austria, a ammunition depot has been excavated in connection with investigations against the right -wing extremist group “Saxon separatists”. Apparently an employee of the National Council President Walter Rosenkranz (FPÖ) is also involved.

As Austrian media, including the “Standard”, the constitutional protection in a forest house in the Krems-Land district has also found ammunition in addition to Nazi devotionals. The suspected employee had residence there at the time of the search. The main tenant was his father.

German authorities have long been investigating a group called “Saxon separatists”. In a raid in November, several people were arrested and house searches were carried out. In Austria, two sons of the former FPÖ boss in Lower Austria, Hans Jörg S., were taken care of. Now with the National Council employee, another son has been targeted by the investigators. The group should also include three former AfD members.

The forest house should probably serve as a retreat for the day of an armed overthrowed overthrow. From the finds of the searches that were carried out as administrative assistance for the German authorities, new investigative approaches in Austria have arisen, according to ORF.

According to a report by the “Kronen Zeitung”, 30 kilograms of ammunition are said to have been ensured in the forest house. It was bullets from the Second World War, but also as new ammunition. In addition, a silencer and uniform -like clothing, including military vests, were confiscated.
