On May 31st, Lina Engel, the leader of the violent far-left extremist Antifa group known as the Hammerbande or ‘Hammer Gang’ was found guilty by the Dresden Higher Regional Court alongside three other members of the gang for violent assaults on real or alleged neo-Nazis and sentenced to five years and three months in prison.
However, the Federal Public Prosecutor General of Germany based in Karlsruhe has now appealed the sentence, demanding that Engel face at least eight years in prison for her activities, according to a report from the German tabloid Bild.
