CAA appalled as CPS takes no action against man who displayed Nazi flag on side of house

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has decided not to take action against a man who displayed a large Nazi swastika flag on the side of a property near the A474 flyover in Neath, Wales.

South Wales Police arrested the 55-year-old man on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence after a passerby took a picture of the flag and posted it on social media. However, the CPS reportedly decided that no further action should be taken against the man.

Stephen Silverman, Director of Investigations and Enforcement at Campaign Against Antisemitism, said: “During the last four years, CAA has had to resort successfully to private legal action due to the Crown Prosecution Service’s repeated failure to defend British Jews.

“It is appalling that the CPS has once again refused to send the message that public expressions of hatred towards the Jewish community will not be tolerated”
