AfD Bundestag Member Faces Trial for Alleged Hitler Salute
Matthias Moosdorf, a member of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, is set to stand trial at the Berlin Regional Court for allegedly performing a Hitler salute in the Reichstag building during a Bundestag session.
The Berlin Public Prosecutor’s Office has charged Moosdorf with using symbols of unconstitutional organizations, claiming he greeted a colleague with a Hitler salute on June 22, 2023. The case has been escalated to the Regional Court due to its significant public interest and the prominence of the accused. Moosdorf denies the allegations, asserting they are politically motivated and lacking credible witnesses. The trial is anticipated to attract considerable media attention, with proceedings expected to begin shortly.
