Neo-Nazi facing jail for inciting hatred 'changes gender in bid to go to women's prison' A neo-Nazi facing prison time for defamation and inciting hatred has changed his name and gender in a move that could see him serving his sentence in a women's prison.
German media reported that Liebich used the new law on self-determination with regard to gender registration (SBGG), which came into force in Germany on November 1, 2024.
It's believed Liebich changed name and gender at the end of 2024 after taking advantage of a new German law.
The 53-year-old, who has also been linked to the Alternative for Germany (AfD) far-right party was sentenced in August 2024 to one year and six months in prison without the possibility of parole for incitement and defamation in several cases.
Liebich applied to the registry office in Schkeuditz, Saxony, to have his gender and first name changed.
