You tried.
Here's some more context:

Police receive tips that "Sieg Heil" shouts were heard and anti-constitutional symbols were displayed at a demonstration organized by Halemba's fraternity.
Police search the fraternity, Halemba is present.
The subsequent investigation of the confiscated objects substantiates the suspicion of incitement of the people.
Halemba flees and cannot be found for 2 weeks.
He is found by cell phone tracking and arrested to prevent destruction of evidence.
His far-right party claims he was arrested for political reasons to keep him from taking his seat in parlament.
