Austrian Court Jails Neo-Nazi Rapper for 10 Years

An Austrian far-right activist accused of posting neo-Nazi songs online, one of which was used by the perpetrator of an anti-Semitic attack in Germany in 2019, was on Thursday jailed for 10 years.

Prosecuted for glorifying Nazi ideology, “the defendant was found guilty,” Vienna court vice-president Christina Salzborn told AFP.

The court ruled that the 37-year-old man was “particularly dangerous”.

His younger brother, the administrator of an anti-Semitic website, was sentenced to four years in prison.
