Officials engage in a manhunt for right-wing radical Liebich

German Authorities Search for Convicted Far-Right Extremist Marla Svenja Liebich

Marla Svenja Liebich, a convicted far-right extremist, is currently at large after failing to report to Chemnitz prison on Friday, leading to an arrest warrant being issued by the Halle prosecution office.

The search for Liebich is being coordinated with the Halle police inspectorate and is being carried out by German authorities. The post announcing her decision to go missing was published under the name Sven Liebich, which was Marla Svenja Liebich's name at the time of sentencing.

The content of the post, published on X platform, did not provide specific reasons for Liebich's decision to go missing. However, an international arrest warrant has been issued to find her, although the specific countries where the warrant applies were not disclosed. It is suspected that she may have fled to a third country, with a possible connection to Moscow indicated by a symbolic image she posted online.

Liebich was sentenced to 18 months in prison in July 2023 for charges including incitement of the masses, defamation, and insult. She was due to start serving her sentence on Friday at Chemnitz prison.

Despite the search efforts, no further details about the search for Marla Svenja Liebich have been provided by the authorities. It is unclear whether lawyers or family members were aware of her decision to go missing.

The Halle prosecution office is conducting the search for Liebich, and no one, including lawyers and family, appears to have known of her decision to go missing. The post did mention the potential issuance of an international arrest warrant for Marla Svenja Liebich.

As the search for Liebich continues, German authorities are urging anyone with information regarding her whereabouts to come forward. The public is reminded that Liebich is a convicted individual and should not be approached under any circumstances.
