Neo-Nazi rally probe

BERLIN: German police have launched 45 investigation proceedings in connection with suspected crimes committed during a neo-Nazi rally and counterdemonstrations in Berlin on Saturday.

More than 600 neo-Nazi participants marched through the city’s Friedrichshain district to commemorate the anniversary of the death of Rudolf Hess, a deputy of Adolf Hitler and leading Nazi party figure during World War II.

They were met by a far greater number of counter-protesters. – dpa/African News Agency (ANA)
