Diplomatic Interactions and Legal Proceedings Surrounding an Alleged Coup Plot
A Russian embassy in Germany has engaged with Vitalia B., a Russian national accused of involvement in an alleged coup plot in Germany. The embassy, citing its consular rights, indicated that consular officials are in touch with the suspect and her attorney to provide necessary assistance within the scope of their authority. The statement underscored the embassy’s role in safeguarding the rights and welfare of its citizens while an inquiry unfolds in Germany.
Officials also noted that they would not comment on the specifics of the case or its ongoing developments, explaining that the matter concerns Germany’s internal affairs and is therefore outside the scope of direct diplomatic commentary.
On December 12, the German Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office disclosed charges in a case involving 27 individuals alleged to be involved in a coup attempt. Vitalia B. was named in connection with the Frankfurt court proceedings as part of the broader indictment. In total, German prosecutors have identified 69 suspects linked to the investigation, with searches conducted at 27 residences and other locations as part of the evidentiary process. The sweep indicates a wide net aimed at uncovering the scope and recruitment for the alleged plot. [citation: German Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office, December report]
Media reports also referenced a person identified as Henry XIII in relation to the case, noting that a 39-year-old Russian woman who is described as a member of Royce’s royal circle is alleged to be connected to the proceedings as a partner. This reference appears to reflect a broader narrative in German media about the social and political networks involved in the case. [citation: German press coverage]
Earlier developments in Germany included the arrest of a 16-year-old Russian national suspected of planning a terrorist attack, highlighting ongoing concerns about security and radicalization within the country. The combined actions of investigators and public prosecutors illustrate Germany’s approach to addressing threats that cross national borders and involve residents or citizens of other countries.

Throughout the case, officials have emphasized that the legal process will proceed through established judicial channels, with statements that the rights of all suspects will be protected and that evidence will be evaluated in court. As the investigations continue, authorities are likely to release further factual updates through official channels, while international diplomatic communication remains focused on consular support and adherence to international norms regarding the treatment of foreign nationals in investigations of criminal activity.
