For five years, a Viennese publicly expressed his far-right views. That is now a thing of the past. But he still has to go to court.
Tattooed literally from head to toe, a Viennese sits on the dock. Much of the permanent body painting has already been scratched – the National Socialist symbols. The 47-year-old has to answer for reactivation at the regional court of Vienna. “We all never want to experience such atrocities again,” the prosecutor recalled from dark times.
Socks with SS print

After a search by WEGA, however, he says he has turned his back on the environment. His lawyer Nikolaus Rast makes it clear: “Here’s a huge, thick line!” That’s why his client doesn’t want to comment anymore. Still, judge Nicole Baczak holds each charging point separately: “You have to go through it! I also had to read all the terrible news.”
The verdict: two years conditional and not final.
