German Nazi Sympathizer Gets Life Sentence for Immigrant Murders

by VOA News

   The last surviving member of a German neo-Nazi gang connected to the
   murders of 10 immigrants has been sentenced to life in prison.

   Beate Zschaepe was sentenced Wednesday in a Munich court for the
   killings of nine Turkish and one Greek national, as well as a German
   policewoman, in a crime spree that lasted between 2000 and 2007.

   The sentencing was the climax to a trial that began in 2013.

   The 43-year-old Zschaepe co-founded the National Socialist Underground
   with two men, Uwe Mundlos and Uwe Boehnhardt. She was arrested in 2011
   after Mundlos and Boehnhardt killed themselves.
