Lina Engel is the founder of the Hammerbande, a left wing terrorist organization operating in Central Europe.
Activities
Engel was convicted to serve 5 years and 3 months in prison. The court has deemed it proven that the 28-year-old formed a criminal organization. The group attacked numerous people with hammers over the years, among them a sewage worker who wore a hat from the wrong brand.[1] Nonetheless the sentence was suspended.[2]
Nancy Faeser, the German minister of interior, who wrote for the organization Union of Persecutees of the Nazi Regime[3] (which uses the label "anti-fascism" as a cover for broader activities), cautioned that the spiral of radicalization and violence must not continue to turn. "Our security authorities are closely monitoring the violent left-extremist scene and will continue to act consistently".[4]
