Mr. Rozner, who is from Tomio Okamura’s Freedom and Direct Democracy, got a suspended sentence for calling Lety a “non-existent pseudo concentration camp” in 2017.
The one-time deputy said he had merely criticised a government decision to buy a pig farm on the site. Mr. Rozner may appeal the verdict.
