Today we publish an English translation of a recent text detailing investigative measures against suspected editors of the German anarchist newspaper Zündlumpen, which led to the arrest of two comrades last February.
Investigators used a wide range of measures to locate a suspected editor of the newspaper, including tracking the locations of her cash withdrawals in real time and intercepting her mother's phone calls.

@notrace holdup, is being an anarchist illegal in Germany? Are they using a crazy interpretation of anti nazi laws?
@Netux From our understanding, the two comrades arrested last month have been charged with participation in a criminal organization for being suspected editors of Zündlumpen, not for being anarchists. We do not know exactly why Zündlumpen was targeted by German authorities, but German authorities indeed sometimes declare anarchist/leftist newspapers illegal, for example if they are considered to promote violence. A famous example is the newspaper "radikal":
