NSU terrorist: Zschäpe wants release from prison - hearing in Munich
Beate Zschäpe is seeking early release from prison. The decision is up to the Munich Higher Regional Court. There was now an appointment there.
Beate Zschäpe, a convicted right-wing terrorist, has appeared before the Munich Higher Regional Court (OLG) in a bid for early release from prison. Zschäpe, who was sentenced to life in prison in 2018 for her role in the NSU murder series, is seeking to have her minimum detention period reduced. The court heard her case in a closed session on Thursday, which will inform a decision on how long she must remain in prison.
Zschäpe has been serving her sentence at Chemnitz prison in Saxony since November 2011. Her lawyer, Mathias Grasel, has argued that she should serve no more than 20 years in total.
