German defendant in February 2023 Budapest violent antifa attacks sentenced to 3 years in prison
Change language:
A Budapest court has sentenced a foreign man who carried out organised armed attacks in Budapest last February as part of the Antifa movement, to three years in a maximum security prison for attempted battery.
The Budapest Municipal Court’s first-instance ruling also ordered the man to be expelled from Hungary for a period of five years on completion of his prison sentence, the court’s press department said in a statement on Monday, adding that another man and a woman are co-defendants in the case.
According to the indictment, the defendants, all foreign nationals, were members of “an organisation of young adults sympathising with far-left ideologies” who had planned on “taking the ideological fight to militant far-right sympathisers who espoused fascist views” by carrying out violent attacks and taking part in demonstrations and protests.
The court determined that the defendants had planned to assault their victims with deadly weapons “so that the humiliation they felt” over the unexpected attacks would cause them “mental anguish” and act as a deterrent to representatives of far-right movements.
Criminals should be treated as criminals. Well done.
Three years for almost killing an innocent human being, PREMEDITATED (i.e. they thought long and hard about it, had a chance to discontinue their bestial designs, but proceeded to do it nevertheless)!?! AND!!! All this in a foreign country!!! They should’ve been sentences to an absolute minimum of 13 years, and preferably sent to some backwater slammer that’s not been modernized into a 3-star hotel. Wish there was a hard labor option still… What lowlife scum… And cowards, too: ganging up on a man like that.
