German Rock Group Charged With Hate Crimes


Three members of a German skinhead rock band have been charged with inciting violence and spreading hate through songs that attack Jews and foreigners, federal prosecutors said Monday. The group made albums abroad to get around German laws forbidding publication of neo-Nazi materials, and set up distribution channels built on "secrecy and conspiracy" to circulate the CDs in Germany's underground far-right music scene, prosecutors alleged. "The group's goal was to spread extreme-right beliefs among young people," prosecutors said.
