German police searched the homes of two politicians from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, Der Spiegel magazine reported on Tuesday, part of a probe into messages in a Telegram chat group that reportedly called for revolution and civil war, APA reports quoting Reuters.
Police searched two residences in Bavaria and confiscated mobile phones as part of an investigation into the "Alternative Message Group Bavaria" on the Telegram messaging service, prosecutors said in a statement seen by Reuters.
The statement did not specify that the raids were on AfD politicians. The prosecutors' office said it could not give further details at this time.
The two people whose homes were searched are believed to have made statements in the 200-member Telegram group in December 2020 and are suspected of public incitement, the statement said.
