Convicted Neonazi Files Complaint to Block Extradition to Germany

The Prague Higher Regional Court will decide whether her safety and procedural claims can pause the ordered transfer.

Overview

  • Marla Svenja Liebich filed a formal complaint and a recusal request on Monday that challenges a Pilsen court order to extradite her to Germany.
  • The Pilsen district court ruled last week that Liebich should be sent to Germany to serve her sentence.
  • Liebich changed her name and legal gender entry in early 2025 and has told courts she fears she would die if placed in a German men's prison.
  • She has asked the presiding judge to be recused and an earlier recusal motion in the case was already rejected by Czech authorities.
  • The Prague Higher Regional Court must now rule on both filings and its decision could delay the transfer and affect how German authorities handle custody and prison placement.
