PHOTOS: 15-year-old Hungarian boy waves swastika flag, charges brought against him

The Győr District Prosecutor’s Office has charged a 15-year-old boy with using an authoritarian symbol and damaging a monument.

According to the accusation, in July 2022, in the afternoon, the perpetrator had fun with his companions in a park in Győr, and consumed large amounts of alcohol. He then took a flag depicting a swastika from his bag, showed it to passers-by and then stretched it out on a fence in a clearly visible manner, the prosecutor’s office wrote in a statement.

Passers-by informed the police, who eventually removed the flag with the authoritarian symbol.

In October 2022, in the early evening hours, the perpetrator drew nine swastikas on the building of the Győr synagogue with an alcohol-based marker, causing damage of nearly HUF 40,000 (EUR 104).

The prosecutor’s office charged the perpetrator with using an authoritarian symbol and aggravated criminal damage. The Győr District Court is expected to decide on the case.
