Memorial stone

Five days after Alberto Adriano's death, 2000 people demonstrated against right-wing extremist violence together with official representatives of the city of Dessau, the state of Saxony-Anhalt and the federal government . On the same evening, another 500 people demonstrated at a spontaneous anti- fascist demonstration.

process

During the trial it became known that the perpetrators had beaten up another African four days before the act of Adriano. The perpetrators were Enrico H. (24), Christian R. (16) and Frank M. (16). All three belonged to the right-wing extremist scene and showed no remorse in court.

Eleven weeks after the start of the trial, the perpetrators were convicted of collective murder . The eldest was sentenced to life imprisonment, the other two, who were minors at the time, each to a nine-year youth sentence.

Domestic and foreign media showed great interest in the process.
