Polish authorities have apprehended a 17-year-old individual suspected of plotting an attack targeting a school and a mosque, according to anti-terror prosecutors. The suspect, identified solely as Pawel G, faces charges including plotting a terrorist attack, promoting Nazi and fascist ideology, inciting racial hatred, and attempting to acquire weapons.
A search of his electronic devices uncovered correspondence detailing plans for mass attacks, such as assaults on a school and a mosque, as well as the procurement of weapons, ammunition, military equipment, grenades, and Molotov cocktails. Additionally, explosive materials, knives, a bayonet, and items bearing Nazi and fascist symbols were seized at his residence.
The ABW domestic security agency reported that two other minors were detained in connection with Pawel G's arrest. These individuals had been communicating with far-right activists, including a German minor, via Telegram and Discord platforms. The suspect, who could face up to 15 years in prison, has denied the allegations against him.
