German 'prince' at centre of alleged coup plot denies charges
The self-styled prince at the heart of an alleged conspiracy-fuelled plot to attack Germany's parliament and topple the government rejected the accusations made against him as his trial opened. In all, six men and three women accused of belonging to or supporting the group face trial. Prosecutors accuse the group, which includes a former politician and ex-army officers, of preparing a "treasonous undertaking" to storm the Bundestag and take MPs hostage.
