A neo-Nazi who changed their gender to avoid male prison has been locked up with female inmates. Marla-Svenja Liebich, 55, formerly known as Sven, was extradited from the Czech Republic to Germany on Wednesday.
The moustachioed far-Right provocateur vanished last August after being pictured in a Nazi-style uniform. Back in 2023, Liebich failed to serve a one-and-a-half year sentence handed to him for slander and incitement to hatred.
He appealed his sentence the next year while registering as a woman. The “transition” was seen a way to mock Germany’s self-determination law. A debate over abuses of the law is now underway across Europe.
The legal reforms were introduced by Olaf Shultz made it easier to change a person’s name and gender.
Since “transitioning”, Liebich has been pictured in public wearing women’s clothing and a moustache. He said he swapped genders to avoid “discrimination” from male inmates.
Despite his commitment to change gender, Liebich in 2022 disrupted an LGBT pride parade in Halle, Germany and is alleged to have called demonstrators “parasites on society”.
Meanwhile, a violent UK-based Neo-Nazi mob has launched a recruitment campaign to prepare for a ‘race war’. Vanguard Britannica has been holding fighting camps and carrying out combat training to ready members for political violence.
Promotional footage distributed by the group shows masked men brawling in fields, taking part in kickboxing fights and running fitness drills.
Founded in 2022 the group was originally a small band of far-Right extremists but has since formed alliances with white supremacists in the UK and US. Its recruitment drive follows anti-Semitic terror attacks in Manchester and Sydney, Australia.
Alex Hearn, co-director of Labour Against Antisemitism, which has researched into the group, said: “The fight training camps and workshops with prominent white nationalist groups around the world suggest Vanguard Britannica could be preparing for increased political or racial violence.
“They exploit anti-immigration sentiment in their motorway banner drops and sticker campaigns. But the true objectives of these white nationalists are far more sinister – racial purity.”
The group has held training camps in London, the Midlands, East Anglia and Scotland, with organisers claiming they are preparing for a race war. Clips of training exercises have been posted its Telegram channel.
The group has also unfurled anti-immigration banners from motorway bridges. It initially targeted Jewish and ethnic minority areas with racist stickers and offensive vandalism.
