Police on Friday carried out a
nationwide operation coordinated by the State attorney's office
in Milan, searching the homes of 11 alleged neo-Nazi activists
between the ages of 19 and 24 who are accused of promoting
white-supremacist, Nazi and Fascist ideas, as well as racial
hatred against Jews and of instigating to commit acts of
violence for ethnic and racial motives, judicial sources said.
The group communicated on the Telegram platform through groups
including the 'Tricolor of Italian blood' and 'Fascist spirit',
the sources said.
Security officials found and seized Nazi flags, copies of Adolf
Hitler's Mein Kampf and brass knuckles, among others, as part of
the operation coordinated by prosecutor Leonardo Lesti and
carried out by postal police and the Digos flying squad.
