Berlin (AP) - Around four months after the occupation of the Reichstag stairs at a demonstration in Berlin, the Berlin police are investigating 40 suspects.
The State Criminal Police Office is conducting 31 preliminary investigations, said a police spokesman.
More than half of them are proceedings for breach of the peace.
More trials could come as the investigation continued.
The editorial network Germany previously reported.
Accordingly, suspects are also accused of freeing prisoners, using symbols of unconstitutional organizations, particularly serious breach of the peace, resistance to law enforcement officers, threats, insults and violations of the Assembly Act.
The domestic political spokeswoman for the Greens parliamentary group, Irene Mihalic, told the editorial network: “It is good that at least some of those involved have been identified and criminal proceedings are ongoing.
I hope that there will be convictions. "
The investigators should also look at possible networks.

One must also assume that the attack by supporters of the elected US President Donald Trump on the Capitol in Washington is “a blueprint” for those “who are also pursuing subversive plans in Germany,” said the Green politician.
On August 29, 2020, several hundred demonstrators, many of them from the scene of the so-called Reichsbürger with flags and some with shouting, ran up the stairs to the visitor entrance of the Reichstag, where only a few police officers were standing.
Nobody got hurt.
However, there was heated discussion of how this could happen.
