Woman Faces Nine-Year Sentence in Germany for Attacking Neo-Nazis

Munich, Germany – A German woman accused of participating in so-called “violence tourism” has gone on trial in Munich, facing charges over a brutal assault on a group of neo-Nazis in Budapest.

Prosecutors allege that the 29-year-old defendant traveled to Hungary in February 2023 to deliberately target far-right extremists. She is accused of taking part in coordinated attacks that left several people injured.

Authorities in Germany describe her as part of a left-wing extremist network known for organizing cross-border actions against neo-Nazi gatherings. If convicted, she could face up to nine years in prison.

The case has drawn widespread attention in Europe, highlighting growing tensions between far-left militant groups and far-right extremists.
