Two Men Sentenced for Planning Synagogue Attack in Germany

The Heilbronn court found the defendants guilty of plotting a violent attack on Jewish institutions, sentencing them to prison terms.

A 25-year-old man was sentenced to six years in prison for preparing a serious act of violent subversion and conspiracy to commit murder.
His 19-year-old accomplice received a youth sentence of two years and ten months for aiding in the plans.
The court determined the pair had intended to target synagogues in Heidelberg or Frankfurt, aiming to kill indiscriminately and die as martyrs.
The defendants confessed during the trial, expressing remorse, which was acknowledged but did not absolve them of responsibility.
A third accused individual was acquitted due to insufficient evidence of involvement in the planned attack.
