> Twenty-five people were arrested, and by lunchtime eight of them were in police custody, among them a serving soldier of the elite KSK unit, a lawyer, a pilot, a gourmet chef and a prince, the alleged ringleader who had led the plans to overthrow the German state and replace it with a “monarchistic order”.

So... a special forces soldier, a lawyer, a pilot, a gourmet chef, and a prince walk into a bar.
"What is this, some kind of a coup attempt?" — asks the bartender.
@rysiek Oh yeah, those people.
A part of them are former "elite" soldiers. I'm not surprised, that no members of police itself were captured - while in parts of Germany those types seem almost the majority of police and present in jurisdiction, too.
The current razzias arrive too late & are too limited, even if it's a good sign they happn at all.
Love your joke anyhow, though
further consequences are unlikely, while climate activists are being criminalized all over.
