German special forces arrested 25 suspected far-right extremists on Wednesday over a plot to overthrow the government. Officials say suspects include people influenced by the Reichsbürger or "Reich Citizens" movement, which believes that Germany's modern democratic government is not legitimate.
Once derided as crackpots, the Reichsbürger conspiracy has increasingly become a source of concern for authorities. The head of Germany's domestic intelligence service said the movement has grown in the last year and presents a "high level of danger".
