Germany: extreme-right music confiscated
01 November 1997
After a year-long investigation into the distribution of extreme-right music, the police in north Germany have confiscated thousands of CDs as well as manufacturing material and t-shirts with right-extreme prints. Three people have been arrested and further seventeen people are being investigated by the police. Orders for the CDs have been processed via Kiel (north Germany) by a letter box company in Copenhagen. It is assumed that well-known German neo-nazi, Marcel Schilf, is involved in this company and has used the profit to support Danish neo-nazis. According to information from the Berlin antifascist Info-Blatt, Schilf is one of the main wirepullers in the Danish nazi-music business and has good contacts with the NSDAP-AO.
The investigations were triggered off after a raid of a record shop in Kiel in 1996 when the police discovered a nationwide network of producers and traders. Meanwhile, there are 90 legal proceedings in other federal states.
