Italy charges three adults, 14 minors with neo-Nazi, white supremacist activity-linked offenses
In the online groups and chatrooms, the suspects praised Adolf Hitler and shared instructions for making and detonating homemade explosives designed to maximize lethal impact.
Italian authorities have charged three adults and 14 minors with neo-Nazi and white supremacist activities. The Italian General Investigations and Special Operations Division (DIGOS) conducted an investigation into online extremist groups and executed search warrants, uncovering weapons, Nazi symbols, and devices used to spread propaganda.
The investigation began after monitoring online channels linked to hate ideologies. The suspects actively participated in two groups on a private social network, engaging in activities such as Holocaust denial, discussing white supremacist attacks, and promoting hatred towards minorities. One group was linked to the "New European Order," a movement based on Nazi propaganda and antisemitism, while the other engaged in online communities for the Italian Fascist Front, a group that promotes violence against Jewish people, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community.
The suspects shared instructions for handling firearms, knives, and homemade explosive devices, as well as recreating violent simulations against minority groups in online games.
