Overview

• The Landgericht Chemnitz provisionally ended two cases on condition of €750 payments each to RAA Sachsen e.V., with final dismissal if paid by the end of November 2025.
• The defendants are men from Freital and Erfurt whom the court noted have no prior convictions and have not reoffended since the 2018 unrest.
• Prosecutors alleged the pair, alongside others, pursued, threatened, and attacked counter‑demonstrators after a Sept. 1, 2018 far‑right “Trauermarsch,” injuring several people.
• Earlier proceedings linked to the Chemnitz riots saw three cases dropped in January 2024 after €1,000 payments and an August trial that produced acquittals and another discontinuation.
• The Dresden prosecutor initially charged three groups of nine with breach of the peace and dangerous bodily harm, but the roster has since narrowed through dismissals, a fugitive, and a defendant placed in psychiatric care.
