During his five-month trial, far-right defendant Stephan Balliet, 28, has denied the Holocaust in open court and expressed no remorse to those targeted.
MAGDEBURG, Germany: A German court is to hand down its verdict Monday on a deadly far-right attack in Halle last year that nearly became the country's worst anti-Semitic atrocity since World War II.
A bolted door at the eastern city's synagogue with 52 worshippers inside marking Yad Vashem, the holiest day of the Jewish year, was the only thing that prevented a heavily armed assailant from carrying out a planned bloodbath, prosecutors say.
After failing to storm the temple on Oct 9, 2019, the attacker shot dead a female passer-by and a man at a kebab shop instead.
