Cross‑Border Raids Target European Extremist Publisher’s Network.

Police in Germany, Poland, and Spain carried out raids on Wednesday targeting suspected operators of a right‑wing publishing house. In Germany, eight locations across Brandenburg, Baden‑Württemberg, Saxony, Bavaria, and North Rhine‑Westphalia were searched, according to the RBB. In Poland, investigators focused on a printing press, while in Spain authorities raided a warehouse and the private and business premises of a Brandenburg extremist currently serving a prison sentence and his wife.

The searches also aimed at eight additional men and women, including a printer owner, a graphic designer, an IT specialist, and the manager of a business centre. The publisher of the alleged firm is wanted through an international arrest warrant. He reportedly fled to Russia years ago and allegedly runs the operation from there.

Prosecutors allege that the accused collaborated between 2022 and 2024 to produce and distribute hundreds of hate‑speaking publications.
