Martin Sellner, a prominent Austrian far-right figure, is under investigation by the Vienna public prosecutor’s office following his provocative entry into Germany in January 2024, which he broadcasted on social media. The inquiry stems from allegations regarding the misuse of audio recording devices related to a conversation with a German police officer, which Sellner publicly shared. His lawyer anticipates the case will be dismissed, arguing the speech was protected under freedom of expression as part of a documentary on public interest. The investigation reportedly began after a complaint from the German federal police.
