Neo-Nazis jailed for plotting attacks on British mosques and synagogues
Published By admin
Three Nazi-worshipping extremists have been jailed for up to 11 years for planning terrorist attacks on mosques and synagogues.
Christopher Ringrose, 35, Marco Pitzettu, 25, and Brogan Stewart, 25, were preparing to use more than 200 weapons they had amassed, including machetes, swords, crossbows and an illegal stun gun, Sheffield Crown Court heard.
Ringrose had also 3D-printed most of the components of a semi-automatic firearm at the time of his arrest and was trying to get the remaining parts.
On Friday, Stewart was jailed for 11 years, Ringrose for 10 years and Pitzettu for eight years by a judge who said she believed they all continued to adhere to their extreme right-wing ideology. The trio are not believed to have met in the real world before they appeared together in the dock.
The judge, Mrs Justice Cutts, outlined how the online group the trio belonged to was preparing for an attack on an Islamic Education Centre in Leeds before they were arrested by counter-terror police.
