Abstract
Subject Extremism in security forces. Significance According to recent news reports, Germany's military intelligence agency launched investigations into 550 cases involving far-right extremism in the armed forces in 2019. The figures shed light on the risks of radicalisation and infiltration of armed and other security forces by far-right extremists. Across Western Europe, the risk of far-right violence has increased, prompting investigations into security forces personnel. Infiltration of armed services poses a security threat by giving extremists access to weapons, training and sensitive information. Impacts Extreme right groups are becoming better organised and equipped. Far-right political parties are unlikely to show support for individuals found guilty of extremism within the security forces. The risk of Islamist radicalisation within the security forces is greater in France than other countries.
