74-year-old convicted: 7950 euros for xenophobic comment!

In a shocking judgment, the Düsseldorf district court condemned a 74-year-old woman for sedition on the Internet! The punishment? A rich fine of 7950 euros! This decision was announced by a court spokeswoman on Friday and caused a sensation.

What happened? In October 2023, the elderly woman published an xenophobic comment in a social network under a contribution of a Federal Minister that campaigned for immigration. The minister had emphasized that "Germany is dependent on immigration to meet the labor needs." But the 74-year-old did not let himself be broken and shot back with insulting words. She described immigrants as "lazy", "Schmarotzer", "knife artist" and even "rapist". Such statements are not only hurtful, but also legally questionable!

the legal consequences

The court has set a clear sign with this judgment: hatred and agitation on the net have consequences! The fine should not only be responsible for the woman, but also deter others who make similar statements. At a time when the tone of dealing on social media often becomes rougher, it is important that such incidents are taken seriously. The court's decision could serve as a precedent and shows that sedition is not tolerated, regardless of age.
