Berlin, Germany - Charges Against Two For Holocaust Denial
Berlin, Germany - A far-right activist extradited from the United States and a Belgian - both accused of denying the Holocaust - have been charged with incitement.
Germar Rudolf and Siegfried Verbeke are accused of "systematically" denying or playing down the Nazi genocide of Europe's Jews in documents and on the Internet and of stirring anti-Semitic hatred, prosecutors in the western city of Mannheim said. Denying the Holocaust is a crime in Germany, where it carries a maximum sentence of five years.
Rudolf, a 41-year-old German was deported to Germany from the U.S. in November to serve a 14-month sentence for a 1995 conviction on similar charges. Verbeke, a 64-year-old Belgian, was arrested in the Netherlands and also was extradited to Germany in November.
