Several years in prison against alleged left-wing extremist Lina E.

Since September 2021, the Dresden Higher Regional Court has been hearing against suspected left-wing extremists. Now comes the verdict. The police want to prevent riots with a large contingent.

In the trial against the alleged left-wing extremist Lina E. and three other defendants, the Saxon Higher Regional Court in Dresden imposed prison sentences of several years. The court sentenced the 28-year-old to five years and three months in prison on Wednesday, among other things for membership in a criminal organization. The men accused received prison sentences of between two years and five months and three years and three months for membership or support of a criminal organization.

With the verdict, the court remained under the demand of the federal prosecutor, who had demanded eight years in prison for E. For the three men accused, the federal prosecutor’s office had applied for between two years and nine months and three years and nine months in prison in the process that has been running since September 2021.

The accused had been accused of several attacks on neo-Nazis or suspected supporters of the right-wing scene in Wurzen, Leipzig and Eisenach in Thuringia between 2018 and 2020, with serious injuries. E. has been in custody since November 2020. The three other suspects are at large.
