The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and police in the state of Hesse are investigating an attempt by several neo-Nazi prisoners in several jails to establish a political network, disguised as a mutual aid organisation for detainees.
According to Bild and Süddeutsche Zeitung, the prisoners used coded messages in attempt to make contact with the Nationalsozialistischer Untergrund, a neo-Nazi terrorist group that has been behind a number of racist attacks.
As a result of the investigation, inspections in prisons will be more thorough, and prison officers will receive special training on the management of extreme right prisoners.
A conversation with investigative reporters Stefano Valentino and Giorgio Michalopoulos, who have dissected the dark underbelly of green finance for Voxeurop and won several awards for their work.
