Details of the Conviction

Melanie Müller, the 36-year-old Schlager singer, has been dealt a heavy financial penalty after being found guilty of demonstrating the Hitlergruß during a concert. According to Judge Lucas Findeisen from the Leipzig District Court, the singer was guilty of raising her right arm, which is considered a sign associated with unconstitutional and terrorist organizations. Alongside this conviction, Müller was also charged with drug possession, leading to a total sentence of 160 daily rates of 500 euros, amounting to a hefty total of 80,000 euros.

What Happened at the Concert

During a performance in September 2022, the singer allegedly showed the Hitlergruß multiple times. The court's sentence exceeded the prosecutor's original request of 95 daily rates at 60 euros each, signaling the severity of Müller's actions. The defense, arguing for her acquittal, will now have to wait as the ruling is not yet legally binding.
