Two men were sentenced by the Gera regional court to prison terms of nine and twelve years for drug trafficking on a large scale. The fact that the two men were members of the now disbanded right-wing extremist brotherhood “Turons” had no influence on the verdict.
The verdict fell short of the prosecutor's request, which had called for prison sentences of twelve and 14 years for the men. The convicts had conducted their business via encrypted crypto services. The domestic policy spokeswoman for the Green parliamentary group, Madeleine Henfling, viewed the verdict as an important signal.
