Five Germans have gone on trial over a far-right plot to kidnap the country's health minister and overthrow the government in protest against Covid-19 restrictions.
Prosecutors say the four men and one woman wanted to "trigger civil war-like conditions in Germany by means of violence... to cause the overthrow of the government and parliamentary democracy".
The plot included plans to abduct Health Minister Karl Lauterbach - unpopular among far-right groups because of anti-Covid measures.
The only female suspect - named as Elisabeth R - is thought to have been the ringleader. The 75-year-old entered the courtroom on tiptoe and wearing no shoes, with two court officials holding her up by the arms.
