Neo-Nazis in court on “race war” terror charges
Published By admin with Comments 0
Prosecutors have charged four Finnish men linked to far-right groups with offences linked to terrorist intent. The offences include aggravated firearms charges and training to commit a terrorist act.
The suspected crimes took place in Lahti as well as in other locations. The case includes charges related to narcotics and firearms, which are also suspected to have been committed with terrorist intent.
Three of the suspects are charged with crimes related to terror. Those include production of firearms and training in their use.
Based on the suspects’ racist beliefs, prosecutors believe they were preparing for an armed conflict between different groups in society, or a so-called “race war”, in which people would be killed and society’s structures destabilised by acts of terror.
