Flood of lawsuits in Carinthia

“Prussians” threatened prosecutor with death penalty

Some members of the Reichsbürgern group of the "Federal State of Prussia" were arrested, others are on the loose and torment officials and fellow citizens with their crude legal views.

When it comes to their rights, supporters of anti-state groups are very sensitive - and even less so when it comes to other people. For example, Carinthians threatened a public prosecutor with the death penalty if she continued to investigate. She could not be stopped - and the "paper terrorists" ended up in court.

"What nutcases!" murmurs a court kibitzer at the trials of several potential enemies of the state, who have to answer to Judge Michaela Sanin at the Klagenfurt Regional Court one after the other for resisting state authority. The middle-aged Carinthians, four women and one man, are said to have tried to deflect investigations into their cell of the notorious "Federal State of Prussia" by making death threats against the public prosecutor in charge.
