Erfurt (dpa/th) – As of Wednesday (9.30 a.m.), nine men and one woman have to answer to the Erfurt district court for a suspected right-wing attack on three men from Guinea in Erfurt. The public prosecutor essentially accuses them of attacking three men from Guinea in the south-east of the state capital in August 2020. The charge includes aggravated assault. The accused are assigned to the right-wing extremist scene.
The attack sparked nationwide outrage. It happened just a few meters from a property where a right-wing extremist group had rented rooms at the time. The process was originally supposed to start a week ago. The main hearing had been postponed because of the illness of a defense attorney.
