FILE - In this Monday, April 29, 2019 file photo, Marian Kotleba, Chairman of the far-right People's Party Our Slovakia, arrives at the Supreme Court in Bratislava, Slovakia, Saturday Feb. 29, 2020. On Tuesday April 5, 2022, an appeals court in Slovakia has dismissed a lower court ruling that had convicted the leader of a far-right party with seats in the Slovak parliament of illegal use of neo-Nazi symbols and sentenced to four years and four months in prison. But the country's Supreme Court still found Marian Kotleba guilty of sympathizing with neo-Nazism and handed him a six-month suspended sentence.
