I don't agree with custodial sentences for talking utter drivel or
supporting right-wing politics (directly or otherwise), but nothing
pleased me more than seeing the smug smile disappear from his face and
watching him back-pedal on his 'research', all to avoid jail time when
he was stupid/arrogant enough to get arrested for re-entering Austria
while there was an outstanding warrant for his arrest there. Note: the
offence was committed in Austria and he was not extradited in the
intervening 16 years.
