German authorities conducted nationwide searches of 54 locations across seven federal states connected to the Islamic Center of Hamburg (IZH) on Thursday morning, the Interior Ministry said.
In a statement, the ministry said the IZH was suspected of “acting against constitutional order” and of “supporting [the] terror organization Hezbollah.”
No arrests were made during the raids, which were carried out to secure evidence on the suspicion that the Hamburg center and affiliated groups back the activities of Hezbollah.
