Berlin bans extremist association

Germany has banned the right-wing extremist organization with effect from Wednesday.

The neo-Nazi association is active throughout Germany. Among others were members of the group involved in February in an attack on supporters of the left in the Hamburg Central Station. In 2009 held the police after raids in several states 23 members of the wolves.

The association emerged from the fans of skinhead rock band Weisse Wölfe from North Rhine-Westphalia.
