The Federal Prosecutor's Office has arrested another suspected member of the leftist extremist group known as the 'Hammerbande,' Rexhino A., an Albanian citizen also known as 'Gino,' at a police station in Hanover. He had been wanted since April 2025 due to charges of membership in a criminal organization and dangerous bodily harm. According to investigators, he was part of a militant group led by Johann G., who allegedly attacked several people in Budapest in February 2023 during the 'Day of Honor,' an event attended by far-right extremists. Rexhino A. fled internationally after the attacks, being detained in Finland and France before finally surrendering in Germany. His lawyer stated that he hopes for a fair trial in Germany, where the prosecution has confirmed that he will not be extradited to Hungary. Multiple other suspects from the Hammerbande are currently facing legal proceedings in Dresden and Dusseldorf.
