Extremism - Acquittal over "Hang the Greens" posters overturned
In connection with posters with the slogan "Hang the Greens", the Bavarian Supreme State Court overturned an acquittal for an activist of the small right-wing extremist party Der III. Weg on Thursday.
Due to a lack of evidence, the Munich I Regional Court had acquitted him of the charge of having put up two such posters as the party's base manager at the time. The public prosecutor's office lodged an appeal against this acquittal - which has now been upheld.
In its acquittal, the regional court had not sufficiently considered the possibility that the defendant could have made himself liable to prosecution simply by being involved in the organization of the poster campaign and being co-responsible for the party Der III. Weg party, the Bavarian Supreme Court ruled. This means that another chamber of the Munich I Regional Court must now decide on the matter again.
The verdict against an original co-defendant and former party leader had become final in the meantime. He had been sentenced to a fine of 140 daily rates of 60 euros each for incitement to hatred and public incitement to commit crimes. His appeal against the sentence was dismissed by the Bavarian Supreme Court in October as manifestly unfounded.
