Germany s Interior Minister has said that far-right crimes in the country have hit a record high.
Far-right offences accounted for more than half of all politically motivated crimes and are at their highest level in 20 years since police started collecting data in 2001.
Horst Seehofer has said that politically motivated crime is a growing problem with groups targeting immigrants, refugees, black Germans, displaying Nazi symbols, carrying out anti-Semitic attacks and targeting Asian people.
