The Dresden Higher Regional Court has sentenced four people in connection with the right-wing extremist »Freital Group«.
A 27-year-old man charged with membership in a terrorist group received a two-and-a-half year prison sentence.
Two other members were sentenced to two years probation each.
A woman charged with assisting the group received a six-month suspended sentence.
As early as 2018, the Dresden Higher Regional Court sentenced the group's main perpetrators to terms of between four and ten years in prison.
Attack on the car of a left-wing city council
The now convicted 27-year-old was, according to the conviction of the judges, involved in attacks on the car of a left-wing city council and a party office in Freital.
He was acquitted of the charge of aiding and abetting the bomb attack on an inhabited asylum seeker accommodation.
A 53-year-old was found guilty of causing an explosive explosion and property damage, and a 31-year-old was found guilty of property damage and the use of marks of unconstitutional organizations.
A 31-year-old who was then engaged to one of the main offenders who had already been convicted was also convicted of using symbols of unconstitutional organizations.
This ended the second trial in connection with the »Freital Group«.
From summer to early November 2015, the right-wing extremists carried out attacks on refugee accommodation and political opponents in Freital in the small town southwest of Dresden and the surrounding area.
Seven men and one woman, including the ringleaders, were sentenced in March 2018 to long prison terms, some for attempted murder or aiding and abetting.
The third trial of the complex began on February 4, accusing two men and one woman.
