Italy: 14 minors investigated over alleged glorification of supremacists, attack plots
A nationwide Italian operation targeted youths said to be active in the New European Order and Italian Fascist Front groups.
Italian authorities have carried out a nationwide operation involving the search of 14 minors suspected of glorifying supremacist figures and proposing attacks, according to reports of the investigation.
The youths targeted in the operation are described as having been active within groups identified as the New European Order and the Italian Fascist Front, both cited as organizations linked to far-right extremist activity.
The operation's nationwide scope indicates that the individuals under investigation were not concentrated in a single region, pointing to a broader network of activity among young people allegedly connected to these groups across Italy.
Authorities frequently monitor extremist youth networks amid concerns that online radicalization can draw minors into ideologically motivated activity, ranging from the glorification of historical supremacist figures to more direct discussion of violence.
Further details on the specific charges, if any, facing the minors involved, as well as the outcomes of the searches conducted as part of the operation, were not immediately available.
