The American leader of the nazi National Socialist Workers Party, Gary Lauck, was deported from Germany in March, after completing a four-year prison term for distributing racist and fascist material. Lauck was arrested in Denmark in 1995 and extradited at the request of the German government later the same year. He was jailed by a Hamburg court after being found guilty of exporting vast quantities of racist propaganda from his base in Nebraska, USA, over the last 20 years. A Court of Appeal rejected an application for early release in 1998 because Lauck was unrepentant. A spokesman for Hamburg city authority said that the nazi leader had been flown to Chicago via Paris. He is expected to continue distributing his propaganda on his return to the USA.
