Foreign group backing US-designated Antifa terrorists says bank accounts were shuttered
Story by Hudson Crozier • 19h
A foreign leftist association showing “solidarity” for a U.S.-designated Antifa terrorist group said Tuesday that two German banks cancelled its accounts.
Rote Hilfe e.V., or “Red Aid,” received the news from GLS Bank and Sparkasse around the time that the Trump administration declared Antifa Ost a foreign terrorist organization in November, criminalizing financial support for the group, Red Aid spokesperson Alex Schneider told the leftist outlet Neues Deutschland. Red Aid says it funds left-wing activists’ legal defense against prosecutions worldwide, including suspected members of Antifa Ost, some of whom have been convicted of violent attacks in Germany.
“We show solidarity with the people being persecuted under [the Antifa Ost] label, and the bank fears coming under pressure itself if it continues to work with us,” Schneider said, claiming Red Aid received no clear explanation for the account closure
