The right-wing extremist video blogger Nikolai Nerling was sentenced to a suspended sentence of nine months in Berlin. In addition, the 42-year-old, who calls himself a “people’s teacher”, has to pay a fine of 3,000 euros to the Amadeu Antonio Foundation. This campaigns against racism and right-wing extremism.
The Tiergarten district court, where the trial took place under heightened security, found the man guilty on Friday of sedition, trespassing, using signs of unconstitutional organizations, insult and breach of the confidentiality of the word.
The public prosecutor had demanded a suspended sentence of eleven months and a fine of 3,000 euros. The allegations against Nerling were essentially confirmed, and the accused had shown no remorse, said the prosecutor.
