After FPÖ Scandal Over SS Song at Funeral: Request for Extradition of FPÖ Deputies

A representative of the Public Prosecutor's Office (StA) Vienna confirmed a report about the request for extradition of the FPÖ deputies in the "Standard" to the APA. The occasion is the participation of the FPÖ politicians in a funeral, where a song was sung that was also used by the SS.

Complaint Against FPÖ Deputies After Participation in Funeral with SS Song

As can be heard in a video leaked to the newspaper, the song "Wenn alle untreu werden" also praised the "holy German Reich". In September, the Jewish Austrian Students (JöH) announced that they had reported the politicians and other persons for re-engagement to the StA Vienna. The StA is now also investigating other persons outside the National Council, about whom no information is given.

The request for extradition of the three FPÖ mandates has already been sent to the parliament. The FPÖ had announced after the incident became known that it had been announced at the funeral that the song was being sung "at the express request of the deceased" in a version from 1814. The former Vienna FPÖ district council and "Old Gentleman" of the German-national fraternity Olympia Walter Sucher was buried.
