VIENNA — Austrian authorities have arrested a third person suspected of involvement in a neo-Nazi website housed on a U.S. server.
The Vienna public prosecutor‘s office says the unidentified man was detained late last week. Earlier this month, authorities arrested two other individuals, including Gottfried Kuessel, a leading Austrian neo-Nazi figure who was convicted in the 1990s of trying to form a successor to the Nazi party.
The website in question recently resurfaced after being shut down. Austrian authorities say their hands are tied because of U.S. free speech laws.
Austria, however, bans the glorification of the Nazi era or attempt to diminish, deny or justify the Holocaust.
