Arbeit macht frei: - Fredrick Töben

He also suggested the new warrant was a re-hash of the old matters he was
convicted of in 1999 but with a ‘cyber-crime’ veneer.

Interestingly, the article is not authored by anyone and so some of the
comments about my person are allowed to be positive. But it certainly was
not true that the plane was cleared of all passengers before I was dragged out
of my hiding place. The details of this episode are in 50 Days in Gaol.
The headline in the Sydney Morning Herald when on 25 November 2008
Valkerie Mangnall reported on my release from London’s Wandsworth
Prison because the German-issued European Arrest Warrant was defective is
a new label: ‘Aussie Nazi-denier flees Britain’.
I’m used to being called a ‘hater’, ‘Holocaust denier’, ‘anti-Semite’, ‘racist’,
‘Nazi’, but a ‘Nazi-denier’ – what’s that? Neither does her article clarify the
use of this new label:
Australian revisionist historian Fredrick Toben has fled Britain as German
authorities vowed to press on with their attempts to extradite him to face
charges of Holocaust denial.
Toben’s solicitor Kevin Lowry-Mullins said on Monday his client left the
UK two days earlier as a precaution.
But Andreas Grossmann, a prosecutor in the German jurisdiction of
Mannheim which tried unsuccessfully last month to extradite Toben from
Britain for alleged racism and anti-Semitism, said the Australian was still a
wanted man.
‘England will not extradite him, but we will continue to attempt to have
him arrested in other countries,’ Grossmann said.
Toben was arrested at Heathrow Airport last month on a European arrest
warrant.
But a British court ruled that the warrant was invalid because it did not
provide enough detail.
Toben remained in Wandsworth Prison while supporters tried to raise a
STG100,000 ($A234,000) cash security to post bail when German
prosecutors dropped their appeal to the High Court.
Toben was subsequently released.
Lowry-Mullins refused to divulge where Toben had gone, but said he was
taking a holiday before returning to Australia.
‘When he was arrested at Heathrow, it was a valid European arrest
warrant but it was vague and imprecise,’ Lowry-Mullins said.
