Radio Nazi
November 16, 2009
On the first day of their trial, the accused, ranging from 20 to 36 years old, were charged with incitement to hatred and running a criminal organization. A police raid on their premises in March seized extensive material connected to German neo-Nazi organizations.
According to prosecutors, the radio station, named European Brotherhood Radio, was founded in 2006 and had broadcast music that included hate slogans against minorities and denied the Holocaust.
It is also thought to have accessed material on the Internet that described how to build a bomb.
Media reports also report that one of the accused, a 31-year-old mother of two, worked as an informant for the constitutional protection authorities in the state of Lower Saxony until shortly before her arrest.
