An extreme right-wing rapper was sentenced today to ten years in prison for posting neo-Nazi songs on the internet, one of which was used by the perpetrator of an anti-Semitic attack in Germany in 2019.
The defendant, who was prosecuted for “apology of Nazi ideology”, was found guilty by a Vienna court, according to his vice-president, Christina Salzbourne. The court even ruled that the 37-year-old is “particularly dangerous”. His younger brother, the administrator of an anti-Semitic website, was sentenced to four years in prison.
Both can appeal.

The Austrian rapper, who was hiding behind the nickname “Mr. Bond “, was arrested in January 2021, after the police verified his identity thanks to his Paypal account. He posted rap songs on the internet with lyrics praising National Socialism, or with anti-Semitic, racist and xenophobic content. One of the songs was used as a “background” by the perpetrator of the attack on the synagogue in Halle, East Germany, in October 2019, which killed two people, one on the street and another in a restaurant.
Since 2016, the neo-Nazi rapper has been calling on members of various neo-Nazi forums to commit terrorist attacks. He also wrote that the perpetrator of the attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, who killed 51 people in a mosque in 2018, was a saint. He even translated his racist manifesto into German.
Apologizing to Nazi ideology is a crime in Austria, the country where Adolf Hitler was born.
