Victoria Police sergeant suspended over alleged Nazi salute; no criminal charges filed.

A suspended Victoria Police sergeant faces no criminal charges for allegedly performing a Nazi salute twice at the Victoria Police Academy, as state prosecutors deemed there was no reasonable prospect of conviction. The incident, which included the alleged use of a Nazi greeting, prompted an internal discipline investigation. Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Shane Patton condemned the actions, calling them "abhorrent." The Nazi salute is illegal in Victoria, with a potential penalty of up to 12 months in prison or a $23,000 fine.
