A prosecutor is investigating whether a man selling wine and schnapps with pictures of Adolf Hitler on the labels is breaking a law prohibiting displays glorifying the Nazi era.
Wilfried Siegele says he will examine whether the alleged sales break the law after complaints from a Green party member.
The man was identified Tuesday by officials and the Austria Press Agency only as Roland M., in keeping with privacy laws.
