Surviving member of German neo-Nazi murder cell gets life in prison
MUNICH, Germany, July 11, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – The only surviving member of a
German neo-Nazi cell behind a string of racist murders was sentenced
Wednesday to life in prison, capping a mammoth trial that began in May 2013.
Beate Zschaepe, 43, was found guilty of 10 counts of murder in deadly
shootings of nine Turkish and Greek-born immigrants as well as a German
policewoman carried out by a trio known as the National Socialist Underground
(NSU), with the judge imposing the maximum sentence because of the
“exceptional severity of the crime”.
