The court assumed that the 37-year-old was “particularly dangerous”. His co-accused younger brother summed up four years unconditionally. The judgments are not final. The brothers asked for time to think, the prosecutor initially gave no explanation.
“I was blinded”
“All the allegations are correct,” the 37-year-old said last Tuesday at the start of the negotiations. He pleaded “fully guilty” and explained: “I realized in custody that that was wrong. I was blinded and only now do I realize the scope of my actions.”
The co-defendant younger brother of the Nazi rapper was partially confessed. The 34-year-old admitted to having been the administrator of a far-right, anti-Jewish website, but denied uploading his brother’s music to the Internet.
The indictment accuses “Mr. Bond” of having glorified National Socialism, Adolf Hitler and the mass extermination in the Third Reich with his music and videos. He had gained notoriety in the relevant scene by rewriting popular hits and distributing the new versions via the Internet or releasing them on five CDs in 2019.
Support for Christchurch attackers
Born in Lienz, he also distributed a video with which he paid tribute to the Christchurch attacker in New Zealand, who killed 51 people in two mosques in March 2019. He also translated his “Manifesto” into German. In his rap songs, the man claimed the supposed supremacy of the white race. According to the indictment, the right-wing extremist violent criminal who wanted to break into a synagogue in Halle an der Saale, Germany, used one of his numbers on October 9, 2019. During the planned live stream of the failed assassination attempt on the Jewish community, the man played a work by “Mr. Bond”.
“Mr. Bond” could be traced through his PayPal account, through which he had processed incoming payments for his music. He was arrested in Vienna in January 2021 and has been in custody since then. Since then, he has received fan letters from right-wing extremists from all over the world, including Canada and the USA, in his cell. Donations and declarations of support were collected in relevant forums. A few months ago, a flag with the words “Free Mr. Bond” was even affixed to the facade of a house opposite the regional court.
