A prominent German far-right politician who plans to run for the governor's job in an eastern state later this year went on trial for the second time Monday on charges of knowingly using a Nazi slogan at a political event.
Björn Höcke was fined 13,000 euros ($13,900) last month for using symbols of an unconstitutional organization, a verdict that his lawyers are appealing against. The trial that opened Monday at the state court in Halle involves a second alleged use of the same slogan.
