# Indictment Filed Over Nazi Slogans on Austrian Train

November 6, 2026 at 03:17 PM

> A 21-year-old faces a jury trial for allegedly performing the Hitler salute on a Zillertalbahn train during the Gauder Fest in May.

The **Innsbruck Public Prosecutor's Office** has filed a non-legally binding indictment against a 21-year-old man for National Socialist re-engagement. The suspect allegedly performed the Hitler salute and shouted Nazi slogans on a **Zillertalbahn** train on May 1.

The incident occurred during a journey from **Jenbach** to **Zell am Ziller** toward the **Gauder Fest**. While the 21-year-old faces a jury trial, a 16-year-old suspect was offered a diversionary program including a memorial visit. Both individuals were intoxicated.

Authorities analyzed train video and two suspects surrendered after photos were published. Investigations into six others were dropped for lack of evidence. If convicted, the 21-year-old faces a potential prison sentence ranging from one to ten years.
