Investigations into racist chants on Sylt mostly set!

Kampen, Deutschland - The investigation into an incident of racist chants on Sylt were largely discontinued. This was announced by the Fensburg public prosecutor, which did not classify the sung slogans as sedition. The incident occurred in the well-known pony bar in Kampen, where guests slogans like "Germany the German-foreigners out!" chanted. A 26-year-old man was warned due to National Socialist gestures, including a Hitler salute, and has to pay 2,500 euros to a non-profit organization.

The events took place during a celebration in May 2024 and was filmed by one person. The Video quickly spread on social media and caused nationwide outrage. Gigi d’Agostino, whose song "L’Amour Toujours" was used for the solemn framework, made it clear that it was about love and not about hatred or discrimination. However, this is not the first case in which a popular song for right -wing extremist slogans was abused.

decision of the public prosecutor's office

The investigation against two men and a woman was hired because the calls did not meet the criminal offense of the sedition, according to the highest judicial case law. The public prosecutor found that the statements and the entire behavior of those involved should not generate or increase aggressive disregard or hostility to the population. Only against the fourth party who showed the Hitler salute was brought to the lawsuit, and here too, a warning and a money payment were sought. If this accepts the edition, there will be no process.

The other three participants, including a student of a Hamburg university of applied sciences, were also not pursued. Her university reacted with a two-month house ban. Examtriculation that was originally considered was rejected as disproportionately.
