BERLIN, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) -- Several German police officers are suspected to have been involved in at least five far-right online chat groups, Herbert Reul, minister of the interior of the German federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), said at a press conference on Wednesday.

Almost 30 officers are accused of "sending and receiving right-wing extremist propaganda in at least five private WhatsApp chat groups, which were apparently used exclusively or predominantly by police officers," said Reul, calling it a "disgrace for the NRW police."
