Gavin Grey: UK correspondent on five Germans going on trial over alleged far-right plot to kidnap health minister - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Five people have gone to trial in Germany over an alleged far-right plot to topple and overthrow the Government.

The group planned to kidnap the health minister and trigger civil war-like conditions in protest of Covid-19 protection measures.

UK correspondent Gavin Grey says they believed that the German empire of the 19th century was the country’s true system of Government, and they hoped to establish an authoritarian ruling order.
