Xinhua, January 27, 2016 Adjust font size:

German police arrested two suspected administrators of the neo-Nazi Internet platform Altermedia near the German city of Bielefeld on Wednesday, German media reported.

Investigators of the German federal prosecutor's office have raided several apartments in states of Baden-Wuerttemberg, Berlin, North Rhine-Westphalia and Thuringia since Wednesday morning, German media Spiegel Online reported.

The federal prosecutor's office is investigating the founders of the extreme right-wing Internet platform for founding a criminal organization, as the group would have joined together to commit crimes such as sedition systematically, according to the report.

The investigations are directed against four persons from the management level of the website, while two of them, a 47-year-old and a 27-year-old, were arrested and should be brought before the investigating judge during the day.

Altermedia was considered an important communication and propaganda platform of the German-speaking neo-Nazi scene for many years. Endit
