5 convicted of plotting to overthrow German government and kidnap the health minister
A German court has convicted five people of plotting to overthrow the government in a far-right coup and kidnap the former health minister
That's very messed up but the thought of our rather special health minister being held captive by a bunch of conspiracy lunatics is so strange it made me laugh.
IIRC this group or the other one mentioned were only discovered because an undercover journalist infiltrated them and then passed the information to the police, who took two more weeks after the television report of the journalist aired, to actually apprehend the far-right terror-cell.
EDIT: seems to be a different terror-cell that planned to murder the prime minister of the state of Saxony in 2021, that i was referring to. It is difficult to keep track of all the far-right terror cells, far-right police officers stealing ammunition and weapons, chat groups glorifying Hitler and much more in Germany.

Yeah, I remember a plot from the last few years that involved some minor German mobility.
Can't remember the last time it happened in any other western democracy.
The crazy part is the FBI informant pushing them to do this /s
