Overview

  • The Higher Regional Court in Frankfurt lifted the arrest warrant for Vitalia B. on Monday after nearly three years in pretrial detention.
  • Proceedings continue against her and eight co-defendants in Frankfurt, and the other eight defendants remain in custody, according to court officials.
  • Prosecutors accuse the network around Heinrich XIII Prinz Reuß of forming a terrorist organization to overthrow Germany’s democratic order, with nine defendants charged in Frankfurt and 26 facing proceedings across Frankfurt, Munich and Stuttgart.
  • The Frankfurt trial targeting the alleged leadership has been running since May 2024, with hearings scheduled through July 2026.
  • Investigators allege plans for a violent takeover including an attack on the Bundestag, the creation of “home-protection companies,” mass arrests of officeholders, and a transitional government with Reuß intended as provisional head of state.
