Location of the crime relevant
57-year-old allegedly appeared in Nazi uniform
On Wednesday, a 57-year-old man from the Innviertel region was to stand trial at the regional court in Ried/I. for re-activation. In addition to collecting Nazi memorabilia, the accused is also alleged to have appeared at an event in a Wehrmacht uniform. The location of the celebration has now caused the trial to be adjourned.
A 57-year-old man was due to stand trial in Ried/I. on Wednesday for National Socialist reactivation. The man from Innviertel is said to have collected Nazi-glorifying devotional objects such as Hitler paintings, relevant songbooks, Nazi flags and nine breathing masks with Reich eagle or swastika imprints at his home.
Appeared in Nazi uniform
He also repeatedly sent pictures glorifying the Nazis to a business partner via WhatsApp - the recipient of the photos is being investigated separately. In addition, the accused is said to have appeared at an event in a Wehrmacht uniform and had himself photographed with like-minded people.
Trial postponed
However, the event in question was in the Czech Republic, as the 57-year-old now admits. The public prosecutor's office in Ried must now investigate this and clarify whether and in what form the wearing of Nazi uniforms can be punished in our neighboring country. The trial has been postponed and is not expected to take place before February 2025.
In Austria, the Prohibition Act was only reformed around a year ago. Since then, the wearing of banned symbols has been punished more severely.
