Expected Verdict in Right-Wing Rock Trial this Tuesday
Anticipated Verdict in High-Profile 'Right-Wing Rock' Court Case - Verdict imminent in the Rechtsrock court case
After eight months of trials, the judgement day in Lüneburg's right-wing rock music case is finally here. The verdict, set to be announced on Tuesday at 1:00 PM, follows allegations of hate speech content production and sale by the 35-year-old main defendant.
The prosecution pushes for a long prison sentence of three years and eight months for the convicted man from Bardowick, near Lüneburg. Reportedly, he collaborated with two other individuals: a Hamburger aged 55 and a Saxon from Escheburg, Schleswig-Holstein, aged 46. The prosecution claims that the trio distributed content denying the Holocaust and glorifying figures of the Nazi regime, inciting hatred and excessive violence against foreigners through songs.
The defense argues for a lighter sentence of just two years and eight months, with the possibility of suspension due to the defendant's pre-trial detention duration of 16 months. The other four defendants' attorneys, however, have requested acquittals.
