Xavier Naidoo, a musician, faces accusations of inciting the masses.
As early as July 2023, Naidoo faced legal action in Mannheim District Court for inciting hatred in four separate instances. One of these cases also involved insult. His alleged offenses included sharing antisemitic and Holocaust-denying content in various forms, such as texts, an audio recording, and other videos linked on a Telegram channel. The investigations stemmed from numerous criminal complaints, and the prosecutor's office pushed for these charges to be tried by the Grand Criminal Chamber of the Mannheim District Court. Meanwhile, the musician refutes the claims, while the prosecutor's office maintains the principle of presumption of innocence.
