A man in Bavaria had his house raided by police after retweeting a meme mocking German Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck of the Greens party.

On November 12, at 6 am, the 64-year-old poster was woken by two police officers with the Schweinfurt force in Bavaria after the local court in Bamberg had ordered his home and car be searched for mobile phones and other digital devices.
