In May, a drunk man with his Bluetooth speaker caused a commotion in Kufstein, and now the ticket has been handed to a jury. His relevant past life made this difficult.
On May 6, a song by a German neo-Nazi band was played outside a shopping mall in Kufstein, causing quite a stir among passers-by. The whole thing came from clearly drunk men carrying a Bluetooth speaker. Later, it was said in the courtroom that a party conference speech by Adolf Hitler had also been played. A police witness said that he even understood the lyrics of the song against the Turks. “It was so loud that I could hear it clearly all the way to the toilet,” he said during the trial.
The Office for the Protection of the Constitution was quickly on the scene
A case for the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution. On the spot, the officers found an acquaintance. He had already been convicted under the Prohibition Act. The trial showed that he was apparently prone to such activities when he was drinking. The reason this time is not entirely understandable: general hatred of Turks because a close relative was poorly paid by a Turkish employer.
There were no other witnesses who had clearly heard the song or could even confirm that a propaganda speech had been played. A drinking buddy of the homeless suspect who was heard as a witness could not contribute much either.
Suspect was drunk
The suspect, who at the time of the crime had about 1.9 per mille alcohol in his blood, admitted at least that he had played most of the first song. “I had a justified anger against the Turks,” he emphasized vehemently.
The defense pointed to the 36-year-old’s personality disorder. “He doesn’t need a lawyer or a judge, but a doctor.” The suspect himself, however, refused a psychiatric report. The unstable alleged Italian also stated in court that he had been “tortured” by the Austrian state for twelve years.
A previous conditional discharge can be revoked
He was already sentenced to prison in 2022 for violating the Nazi Prohibition Act. Part of this prison sentence was conditionally suspended in January 2024 and was revoked during the current hearing. This means that an additional 14.5 months of prison sentence will be added to the imposed 20 months – if this is legally binding.
