After angry Hitler salutes and loudly chanting Nazi slogans in the Innsbruck branch of the Austrian Health Insurance Fund (ÖGK), a 37-year-old now has to answer to the court. He is ashamed of the incident.
“That is not my attitude, I have nothing to do with it,” the 37-year-old, who was accused of Nazi reactivation, stressed several times at the Innsbruck regional court.
But it is true that when he drinks a lot of alcohol, he talks nonsense. Last November that was also the case: “I drank wine and schnapps all night and slept for an hour at most.”
Drunk at 9am
The man from Innsbruck showed up at his ÖGK appointment at 9:00 completely drunk with a blood alcohol level of almost three per mille. The man became furious, raised his right arm in the Hitler salute, sang ‘Heil Hitler’ and loudly announced that ‘all foreigners should be gassed’. He could no longer remember the incident. “But I am ashamed of it.”
Barely missed a prison sentence
Non-final sentence: four months suspended prison sentence and a fine of 720 euros. In addition, instructions were given for alcohol withdrawal treatment and psychotherapy.
