VIENNA (Reuters) - Three Austrian lawmakers from the far-right Freedom Party won a defamation case against newspaper Der Standard on Thursday over an article that said they attended a funeral where a Nazi song was sung, when in fact it could not be determined if it was.
Der Standard published a video from the funeral in Vienna in September of a 90-year-old member of a right-wing fraternity, including a song sung there that the paper described as an SS hymn while explaining it was originally from the 19th century and SS troops sang a version with slightly different lyrics.
