Identified as Franco Albrecht, a 33-year-old lieutenant in the German military was found guilty after posing as a Syrian refugee in a long-delayed trial in Berlin33-year-old lieutenant in the German military was found guilty after posing as a Syrian refugee in a long-delayed trial in Berlin33-year-old lieutenant in the German military was found guilty after posing as a Syrian refugee in a long-delayed trial in Berlin. The court labeled the case as the first in the country’s post-war history in which a member of the armed forces was accused of planning a terrorist attack.
The son of a German mother and an estranged Italian immigrant father, the soldier was arrested in 2017 while trying to retrieve a Nazi-era pistol that he had hidden in a toilet at Vienna’s international airport. After the trial, he was sentenced to five years and a half in prison.
He led a double life for the longest time as he was registered as a Syrian refugee named Benjamin David, to make his planned attacks appear to be a radical Islamist act of terrorism.
He darkened his skin with makeup to pose as a Syrian refugee despite speaking no Arabic, which according to him, was not necessary and never caused him any problem with immigrant authorities.
In addition to many charges, had admitted to stockpiling weapons that the stole from the German military, which added up to the evidence against him.
Oddly, he had not been held in detention while on trial which ended with him being arrested in the possession of a box full of Nazi memorabilia some notes of his. He had many Jewish human rights activists among his potential targets.
The court found out that Albrecht Franco is a right-wing extremist, and nationalist with a racist attitude claiming that he has a particular aversion to people of the Jewish faith. The convicted soldier blames Jewish people for engineering the migrant crisis that lead to the current racial mixing and the ultimate extinction of the German race.
