The man had to answer, among other things, on charges of insult in 67 cases, attempted coercion and threats, according to a court spokesman on Wednesday. He is also accused of denigrating the memory of the deceased, disturbing the public peace through threats of criminal offenses, disseminating symbols of unconstitutional organizations, publicly inciting criminal offenses, possessing child and youth pornographic material, as well as sedition and a violation of the Arms Act .

Frankfurt / Main - The recipients of the threatening letters were private individuals, public figures as well as authorities and institutions.

There were threats, among other things, with "Better piss off while you get out of here alive" or that family members would be "slaughtered with barbaric sadistic severity".
