German police launched an investigation after a swastika was found in an office building for legislators located next to the parliament in Berlin. Die Welt reports.
A spokesperson for Bundestag said that a symbol banned in the country was scratched on the door one of the elevators.
The publication clarifies that the swastika was noticed by one of the members of the Green Party. He contacted law enforcement and published the photo captured in the elevator in his Twitter -account. “Today I went to the office in the Bundestag to do a few things, and [noticed that] someone scrawled this on the elevator door,” he wrote in a post.
In Germany, the demonstration of Nazi symbols is prohibited – the exception is made only for educational and artistic purposes. The author of the picture may face imprisonment for up to three years.
Formerly Jewish doctor Taylor Nichols who works with coronavirus patients in the United States confessed that he did not want to treat one of the seriously ill after he saw neo-Nazi symbols among his tattoos. He noted that it was not only difficult for him to look at the tattoos – two more doctors were preparing the patient for intubation with him.
