Spain – Austrian neo-Nazi writer arrested in Spain for denying Holocaust

An Austrian writer wanted for denying the Holocaust was arrested by Spanish police in Malaga, Spain.

Gerd Honsik was convicted of neo-Nazi activities in his native Austria in 1992 and sentenced to 1 1/2 years in prison, but fled to Spain to avoid jail time. Honsik has written books denying the Nazi genocide against Jews during World War II and currently publishes an anti-Semitic newspaper in Spain. Denying the Holocaust is a criminal offense in Austria.
