German police are investigating 16 people suspected of shouting a Nazi slogan in a Munich beer hall, police said in a statement on Wednesday (12).
On Tuesday night (11), a 26-year-old man allegedly made a gesture and spoke a slogan related to “banned organizations”, and the rest of the group joined in, police said.
Local TV station Bayerische Rundfunk reported that the group shouted the Nazi slogan “Sieg Heil” several times, citing a witness.
Police did not immediately respond to a request for more information.
In Germany, the use of slogans and symbols linked to anti-constitutional groups, including the Nazi party, has been illegal since World War II.
Recently, Germany has been rocked by several racism-related incidents as the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has gained popularity, especially in the eastern part of the country.
They include a group of young people captured on video shouting “foreigners out” at an exclusive club on the German island of Sylt, and a senior AfD party figure being fined by a court for using a Nazi paramilitary slogan.
