The self-appointed “Chancellor in Exile” Ralph T. Niemeyer was supposed to deliver controversial mail to Putin for the “Reich Citizen” Prince Preuss. However, the raid led the investigators on the slippery slope.
In the new raids in the environment of the suspected terrorist group around Henry XIII. Prince Reuss, the former elite soldier Rüdiger von Pescatore and the former AfD member of the Bundestag Birgit Malsack-Winkemann, there is another illustrious person involved: The police were also at the door of the self-proclaimed “exile chancellor” Ralph T. Niemeyer. Should Sahra Wagenknecht’s ex-husband use his contacts in the Kremlin to organize Russian support for the planned new government? After all, he met with the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on behalf of a “government in exile” of Germany.
The police officers who were at his Munich address on Wednesday morning wore balaclavas and weapons, but announced themselves over the doorbell. After all, Ralph Niemeyer is not listed as a suspect in the proceedings, but as a witness: he himself had reported to the authorities. He was asked to act as a postman and door opener. Niemeyer received a bundle of documents that Heinrich XIII. Prince Reuss apparently intended for Vladimir Putin.
Henry XIII Prince Reuss wanted to prove legitimacy
During the search in Munich, these documents were to be secured with the prince’s seal. However, the investigators should have asked the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution for this, said Niemeyer t-online: “They are there after I handed them over to two employees.”
The documents in question were apparently intended to later legitimize Henry XIII. Prince Reuss, real estate agent from Frankfurt, to serve as the future head of Germany. They should justify why he should be installed as the legitimate German regent after the planned putsch.
Henry XIII Prince Reuss is considered the ringleader of the group, which includes at least 61 suspects. Among them are police officers and former or recently active soldiers. The investigations had revealed indications of other possible members, during raids on Wednesday a “Reich citizen” injured a police officer with a shot.
A direct connection between the prince and Ralph T. Niemeyer is not proven. In recent years, however, Niemeyer has often been a speaker at demonstrations against corona measures and against NATO. He knows some of those involved in the investigation into the terror group better, such as Colonel a. D. Maximilian Eder and the “base” politician Johanna Findeisen. He does not know the prince personally, he says t-online.
It should be interesting for the authorities: When was Niemeyer contacted by the suspected terrorist group and what did those involved want from him? This could emerge from intercepted and evaluated conversations and messages.
Niemeyer claims to have received documents from “Swetlana”.
Niemeyer himself emphasizes that he was spontaneously approached: On the sidelines of a demo in Wittenberg, a “Svetlana” approached him and asked him if he could bring something from Prince Reuss to Russia. He took the documents to look at them. “I didn’t know what that was and I had never dealt with the prince before.”
But there was no handover in Moscow, if Niemeyer had any intentions at all: two days later, on December 7, the nationwide raid against the conspirators took place – the largest such operation in post-war history. Because of the proximity in time, Niemeyer speculated that the handing over of the documents could already have been a trap. That’s why he reported to the authorities on the same day to get rid of his tips. It was not until January and after several inquiries that two officers picked up his documents. Niemeyer has evidence of the corresponding exchange.
Niemeyer therefore considers the raid with a search warrant to be excessive – and unnecessary. According to his account, Putin’s mail has long been with the investigative authorities, after all he handed it over. As a result, he filed a criminal complaint against the President of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Thomas Haldenwang, and against unknown persons for perverting the law and frustrating the law in office. Niemeyer to t-online: “I have nothing to blame myself for.”
