BERLIN — German police have seized thousands of
recordings
of suspected neo-Nazi music during raids across the country.
VERBOTEN—Dangerous music threatens German
democracy!
More than 200* flats and offices were searched, and police
said they had confiscated about 45,000 recordings, more
than 170
computers and 70 weapons.
The
raids are part of a long-running investigation led by
prosecutors in
Stuttgart, involving some 204 suspects.
The production and sale of music that promotes an extremist
agenda or racial hatred is illegal in Germany.
Siegfried Mahler, Stuttgart's chief prosecutor, said
right-wing
extremists used music to "awaken interest and win support".
"Using aggressive, xenophobic,
anti-Semitic and anti-democratic
lyrics, they spread extreme right-wing
ideas," he said in a
statement.
Police said there were 204 suspects — all of whom were between
the
ages of 21 and 45 — but no-one had been arrested.

*Our NSNS correspondent on
the Bundesrepublik reports as follows:
"Yesterday more than 400 homes
around Germany were raided
by the
police looking for 'right-wing' music. They arrived at 6 a.m.,
turned
the houses and apartments upside down, terrorized the
residents, seized CDs, computers and hard drives,
etc., and
anything else they didn't like.
"Music
wasn't the only thing they were looking for—that was just
a pretext. Anyone
visiting 'right-wing' websites or receiving mailings
from 'right-wing'
websites also comes under scrutiny. Please
understand if our
correspondence is interrupted.
"Earlier a friend of mine, Frank R.,
age 69, was visiting friends
when the place was raided. Without warning the
door burst open
and four men in civilian clothes with masks
and pistols stormed in.
No indication was given that they were
police.
"My friend punched the first guy in the face, dropping him.
The
intruders then screamed, 'Police, on the floor.' He was arrested,
tried and convicted of assaulting a police officer.
"He spent 10
days in a maximum-security prison. Upon his release
on bail he fled to South
America, where he is now living."
