You can (miraculously) escape if you show your middle finger to someone, but if you are overreacting it you are completely done. That is exactly what happened to a Rapid Vienna football fan.
In a game against Modling from 13 August 2016, an unemployed male spectator without thinking (and obviously drunk) raise his right hand and did a Nazi salute. As this is unforgivable in Austria, now the 39 year old have to spend one year and a half in prison. On top of that he is also banned accessing the stadium. This verdict from last Tuesday was not his only offence. With a tattooed number 88, which is a code for 'Heil Hitler', this skinhead was charged in 2013, because on Facebook he wished Hitler a happy birthday.
Austria has one of the strictest law in Europe which dates from 1947 against worshiping or speech inspired by Nazism.
