Overview

• The Amtsgericht Würzburg opened main proceedings and admitted counts of incitement, money laundering, coercion including an attempted count, and property damage.
• Hearings begin on January 7, 2026, with eight trial days scheduled before the youth‑panel court because parts of the alleged conduct occurred when Halemba was a young adult.
• The court denied Halemba’s motion to recuse the presiding youth judge, countering his earlier claim that the request had been granted.
• Prosecutors say a Landser song was played at Halemba’s July 2022 birthday party, and they cite transfers of a mid‑four‑figure sum to a Baltic account that was converted to cryptocurrency.
• Investigators also allege pressure on a witness and damage to a lawyer’s office door to influence a party proceeding, while Halemba rejects all accusations as politically driven and criticizes the trial timing during local campaigning.
