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.

Can’t remember the last time it happened in any other western democracy.
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.
The crazy part is the FBI informant pushing them to do this /s
Chances of running into an actual FBI informant are pretty low in Germany. However, we do have “V men”, i.e. informants for the interior secret service (Verfassungsschutz). “V men” are usually pretty well aligned with the organizations they are supposedly informing on though.
It’s a joke based on the fact that in the USA many of the attacks on a politician are first suggested by an undercover FBI agent. For example the attempt to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, the governor of Michigan, was attempted by a group of men who got the idea from the FBI plant in the group.
I see, thanks. I was missing that context.
I figured. This is why in the USA you are told that if you are attending a rally or event and a random person suggests engaging in criminal activity you get away from that person as they are a cop
