Bewegung Morgenlicht Explained

Bewegung Morgenlicht (Dawn Movement or Morning Light Movement) was a German militant, pretending to be a group, active in 2009–10. He carried out a number of arson attacks on banks. He released statements calling for compensation for people who lost money after being sold Lehman Brothers securities just before Lehman Brothers collapsed and a thorough reform of the economy.

In January 2010 he claimed responsibility for sending Roland Koch a fake pipe bomb stating that the action was in response to comments by Koch that beneficiaries of Hartz IV should be put under greater pressure to work.[1]

In February 2010, Thomas R. was arrested in Frankfurt. On 20 October, he was sentenced to four years and ten months of imprisonment.
