Overview
- Police and an ABC hazmat team responded to the Agra market near Leipzig after a vendor displayed a can labeled Zyklon B, the gas Nazis used to kill over a million Jews.
- Firefighters tested the can and found it empty, and officers confiscated Nazi-era memorabilia including flags, helmets and uniforms.
- The Kriminalpolizei opened investigations into suspected breaches of the War Weapons Control Act and the law that bans symbols of unconstitutional organizations.
- Market management barred the 39-year-old Polish seller from the venue for at least six months, according to a spokesperson.
- Officers also cited a 62-year-old Italian vendor who offered four long guns without proof of deactivation or the firearms expertise required under German law.
