Trial against the father of the Hanau assassin

The father of the Hanau attacker has to answer for the charge of insult at the Hanau District Court today.

According to a statement from the court, the public prosecutor's office accused the man, among other things, of having described several people as “wild strangers” in a criminal complaint in January 2021.

They had previously held a meeting under the motto “We are not waiting for another racist attack” near his home.

Hanau - Among the participants in the rally were several relatives of the victims of the attack on February 19 last year in Hanau.

The accused is the father of the 43-year-old German who shot and killed nine people for racist motives that evening in the city in the east of the Rhine-Main area, before presumably killing his mother and ultimately himself.

Upon request, his lawyer did not comment on the allegations against his client.
