Specifically, it is about a post by Höcke on Telegram from 2022, which is about an act of violence in Ludwigshafen. Höcke wrote, among other things: “The perpetrator is probably mentally ill and suffers from the widespread disease among immigrants that makes those affected scream ‘Allahu Akbar’ and distorts their perception so that they see the ‘infidel’ hosts as a life unworthy of living. ” It is the second court hearing that Höcke will have to face.
The Halle regional court has approved charges against Höcke for using the license plates of unconstitutional and terrorist organizations. A date for this process is not yet known. This procedure concerns a speech by Höcke in Merseburg 2021, where he is said to have used a banned slogan of the Sturmabteilung (SA), the paramilitary fighting organization of the NSDAP. Höcke, who used to be a history teacher, is said to have known that the last part of the saying was a forbidden slogan, according to the accusation. According to earlier information from the public prosecutor’s office, Höcke had used his defense to deny the criminal relevance of his statement.
