A major trial of alleged members of the far-left extremist group known as the ‘Hammer Gang’ (Hammerbande) is set to begin Tuesday at the Higher Regional Court in Dresden.
Among the defendants are the group’s leaders, Johann Guntermann and Paul M., who face charges of membership in or support of a far-left criminal organization as well as attempted murder. The trial had been postponed several times, with the latest delay due to the unavailability of the defense.
