Prosecutors in Flensburg revealed that the majority of charges stemming from a scandal involving racist chanting at the Pony Bar in Sylt have been dropped. A video showed patrons chanting "Germany to the Germans, foreigners out!" during a party, resulting in a national backlash. Only one man faced charges related to offensive gestures seen in the footage, which included a remnant of Nazi symbolism, leading to a probationary fine. The court deemed the slogans did not meet the threshold for incitement to hatred, thus dropping cases against others involved.
Prosecutors in Flensburg announced that most charges have been dropped against individuals involved in last year's scandal of racist chanting at a bar on Sylt.
The incident sparked widespread outrage and led to public discourse around racism in Germany, with only one individual being charged for inappropriate gestures.
