Melanie Mueller Claims She Was Just Trying To Spark Audience Interest During Live Music Shows
German pop singer and former adult film star Melanie Mueller faces charges from the Leipzig prosecutor’s office for allegedly “repeatedly” displaying the Nazi salute during a public performance in the German city last year, local media reported this week. .
Prosecutors accused Mueller of saluting at a live concert in September after video clips posted online appeared to show the 34-year-old repeatedly raising her arms in a manner similar to a fascist salute.
The video also allegedly shows viewers saluting Hitler – some of whom appear to be yelling “Long live Ziggy.” According to German media RTL News, Mueller was charged on Wednesday with promoting “Unconstitutional and terrorist organization.” Police searched Müller’s residence in Leipzig last year, Tagesspiegel reported on Wednesday.
Prosecutors will now decide whether to file formal charges against Mueller. If she is convicted, the entertainer faces up to three years in prison.
The former adult film star, who previously starred in x-rated films under the stage name Scarlet Young, has denied the allegations against her and said she was only gesturing with her arms to get the crowd excited during the event. She also denied any links to extremist or far-right groups.
Muller became the target of criticism last August after he attended a boxing match organized by a group with ties to far-right extremism, Der Spiegel reported.She later explained her attendance, saying she was a “Avid boxing fan” she is “Invited there” She sees it as a charity event.
Shortly after World War II, it became illegal to give the Nazi salute in Germany. Tourists visiting the country are regularly arrested by the country’s authorities for displaying fascist postures. In 2022, three English football fans were detained by police in Munich for giving the Nazi salute before a match.
