The State Criminal Police Office of Saxony has launched a raid in Dresden because of murder plans expressed on Telegram against the Prime Minister of Saxony Michael Kretschmer (CDU).

As the police announced on Wednesday, special forces were also involved.

The background is the murder plans of anti-vaccination opponents against Kretschmer in connection with the decisions of the state government to contain the corona pandemic, which were discussed in a chat group in the Telegram online service.
