Overview
- A Leipzig court spokesperson confirmed Müller has filed a revision, sending the case to the Oberlandesgericht Dresden.
- The Landgericht Leipzig convicted her of using symbols of unconstitutional and terrorist organizations and of drug possession, imposing 70 day-fines at €50 each.
- Judges found she repeatedly raised her right arm in a Hitler salute during a September 2022 concert, according to the court’s reasoning.
- The new penalty reflects a steep reduction from the first-instance sentence of 160 day-fines at €500 each, which totaled €80,000, after a reassessment of her current income.
- Her defense rejects the allegations, arguing the gesture was a crowd-rousing move to the chant “Zicke Zacke, hoi, hoi, hoi” and not a political statement.
