HUNDREDS of police officers raided homes in three German states today after the government banned the far-right Wolfsbrigade 44 organisation.

The homes of 11 members of the group were searched in Hesse, Mecklenburg West-Pomerania and North Rhine-Westphalia to seize funds and neonazi propaganda.

Interior Minister Horst Seehofer declared: “Whoever fights against the basic values of our free society will get to feel the resolute reaction of our government. There’s no place in this country for an association that sows hatred and works on the resurrection of a Nazi state.”
