Overview
- Hanna S. was convicted by the Higher Regional Court of Munich of dangerous bodily harm and membership in a criminal organisation, with a five‑year prison term that is not yet final.
- The court said she took part in two assaults on perceived right‑wing participants during the February 2023 ‘Tag der Ehre’ events in Budapest, which the presiding judge described as a “Menschenjagd.”
- Judges declined to find intent to kill despite prosecutors seeking nine years for attempted murder, ruling that the evidence did not support that charge.
- The verdict relied largely on indicia and video identifications, including assessments by police “superrecognizers,” which the defence disputes; attorney Peer Stolle announced an appeal.
- The case forms part of the transnational ‘Budapest‑Komplex,’ with further German proceedings including charges against six at the OLG Düsseldorf, and it has spurred demonstrations, including about 1,200 supporters marching in Nuremberg on Saturday.
