In short:

Alan Yazbek pleaded guilty in court on Thursday to the charge of displaying a Nazi symbol.

He was seen at a large rally holding a placard which took the Israeli flag, but replaced the Star of David with a blue swastika.

What's next?

Yazbek's wife and business partner confirmed her husband is no longer involved in the management of their well-known restaurant business.
