French neo-Nazi leader Marc Fredriksen was yesterday given a six-month suspended prison sentence and a 6,000 Franc ($1,000) fine for hate mongering and racial libel. Fredriksen, 56, a self-styled French “fuhrer” and leader of the now outlawed neo-Nazi organization, Federation of European Nationalist Action (FANE), was also ordered to pay 4,000 Francs ($850) fine to four Jewish organizations. Fredriksen was already given a similar sentence in March 1981 for articles published in a monthly magazine, “Our Europe,” published by FANE. Two other former neo-Nazi activists were given lesser sentences and ordered to pay damages to Jewish and civil rights organizations.
