Holocaust Denial Case: Defendant Admits Guilt in Berlin Court

The 30-year-old, facing charges of incitement and use of unconstitutional symbols, attributes his actions to drug use and mental health struggles.

The defendant, accused of Holocaust denial and antisemitic posts, faces nine charges related to incitement and unconstitutional activities between February and June 2024.
He admitted guilt at the trial's opening and distanced himself from the posts, claiming they stemmed from drug use and delusions.
The man, who also sent bizarre emails to federal police claiming authority over law enforcement, has been in custody for four months.
His defense lawyer emphasized that he acted alone and had no ties to the extremist 'Reichsbürger' movement.
The court ordered a psychiatric evaluation to assess his criminal responsibility, with proceedings set to continue on February 13.
