U.S. Neo-Nazi Faces 14 Years, Not 5, in Prison
- Share via
HAMBURG, Germany — An American neo-Nazi on trial for mailing banned anti-Semitic literature to fascists in Germany faces up to 14 years in prison, not five years as previously reported, the judge said Friday.
Judge Guenter Bertram made a point of correcting the error on the second day of Gary Rex Lauck’s trial on charges of inciting hatred and distributing illegal anti-Semitic literature.
Lauck is accused of being German fascists’ main supplier of anti-Semitic brochures, films and other propaganda. Such material is illegal in Germany under a constitution the Allies imposed after World War II.
Lauck claims the trial is illegal. It is scheduled to resume May 20.
