A second accused, who is also accused of ringleadership, is to be behind bars for four years, according to the will of the prosecutors. The representatives of the federal prosecutor’s office applied for a two-year suspended sentence against a third accused.

The Attorney General had also accused the men of incitement to hatred. The accused are said to have spread inciting content via various Internet platforms. The main defendant is said to have built up an international network on the Internet since 2014 in order to spread anti-Semitic hate speech around the world.
