Vincent Reynouard appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court to face extradition to France over the hateful views he spouted online.
A sheriff has been urged to order the extradition of a French Holocaust denier who was hiding out in Scotland.
A full extradition hearing was held at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Thursday with Reynouard appearing in the dock from custody.Advocate depute Paul Harvey told the hearing that Reynouard’s videos displayed the “most appalling anti-Semitism”. But Fred Mackintosh KC, defending Reynouard, said Reynouard’s videos didn’t constitute a breach of the peace as there was no call for action by others.
Mr Harvey said there was no need under Scottish law for a breach of the peace to require a direct call to action. In his submission, Mr MacIntosh said Reynouard’s videos didn’t constitute a breach of the peace as “he does not call for any action”.
