The court thus followed the opinion of the public prosecutor's office and the psychiatric expert, as can be seen from the ruling sent out on Monday.
With a prison sentence of 13 months, the judges went slightly beyond the required sentence of 12 months. This was despite the fact that they acquitted the accused of making a threat. They also sentenced the Swiss national to a fine of 140 x 30 francs. He is to pay this. The verdict is not yet legally binding.
The defendant is accused of insulting, threatening and racially insulting two dark-skinned young people on a sports field. He claimed in court that the youths had threatened him.
