According to the indictment, the crime violated the so-called racism clause in the penal code, as Jews were mocked and degraded because of their faith.
It was in April that red paint, which was supposed to represent blood, was painted on the masonry into the cemetery. In addition, dolls smeared in red were left both inside and outside the cemetery.
On the spot were leaflets from the right-wing extremist movement Nordfront.
The action was mentioned on the movement’s website, and here, according to the prosecution, it was propaganda in violation of section 266 of the Penal Code, which prohibits threats and insults against a group, for example, because of its faith or ethnicity.
In a similar case from Randers in 2019, where 84 tombstones were overturned in a Jewish cemetery, two other men with connections to the right-wing radical group were also convicted.
Here, one was sentenced to nine months in prison, while the other was sentenced to one year.
