- Judgment against right-wing extremists awaited
In the appeal trial against right-wing extremist Sven Liebich at the Regional Court of Halle, a verdict is expected on Friday (start: 9:30 AM). A prison sentence without probation is conceivable. The prosecution accuses Liebich of incitement of the masses and defamation, among other things.
The local court in Halle had already sentenced Liebich to a prison sentence of one year and six months without probation in July 2023. Both the prosecution and the defense had filed an appeal at the time.
Since 2014, Liebich has regularly organized demonstrations, often on the market square in Halle in Saxony-Anhalt. These have often led to confrontations with counter-protesters. Courts have dealt with accusations against Liebich on several occasions.
The Regional Court of Halle is expected to deliver a verdict against Sven Liebich on Friday, potentially extending his existing prison sentence. Sven Liebich, known for his regular demonstrations and past legal issues, faces charges of incitement of the masses and defamation.
