Poland detains neo-Nazi youth planning terrorist attack on mosque and school
In total, three teenagers have been detained in relation to online groups promoting neo-Nazism and violence.
Polish authorities have apprehended three teenagers suspected of being involved in neo-Nazi online groups advocating violence and terrorism. One of the detained individuals, Paweł G., has been formally charged by prosecutors with planning a terrorist attack targeting a mosque and a school. The most severe charge against G, carrying a potential 15-year prison sentence, involves preparations for a terrorist attack aimed at killing many people.
Analysis of his devices indicated correspondence related to large-scale attacks, surveillance of targets, and the acquisition of weapons, including grenades and Molotov cocktails. G is also charged with membership in a criminal group intending to execute a terrorist offense, promote Nazi and fascist content, and incite religious, ethnic, racial, and national hatred.
The final charge involves public incitement of hatred, promotion of a fascist and Nazi state, and possession of Nazi and fascist material with the aim of disseminating it online. Two additional suspects, Kacper K. and Wiktor Ś., both 16, have been transferred to juvenile courts. They were detained for possession of Nazi and fascist materials, as well as terrorist attack-related content.
The Internal Security Agency (ABW) confirmed that G was active in the same neo-Nazi Telegram and Discord groups as Kacper K. and Wiktor Ś., where discussions included planning potential attacks and analyzing terrorist attack modus operandi.
