  • The widespread sharing neo-Nazi imagery and pictures of Adolf Hitler on far-right chatrooms by German police has led to the suspension of 29 officers.
  • The officers shared extremist content, including Swastikas and doctored images of refugees in gas chambers, according to officials in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW).
  • Some face charges of spreading Nazi propaganda and hate speech while others are accused of not reporting the actions of their colleagues.
  • German police have previously faced accusations of not doing enough to weed out potentially violent nationalists in their ranks.
