Rome, 25 Sept. (LaPresse) – Posters featuring Brenton Tarrant, Anders Breivik and Stephan Balliet, alongside Nazi propaganda documents and Adolf Hitler’s *Mein Kampf*, were shared on Telegram channels that became the focus of a ROS investigation into an alleged white supremacist network, leading to the arrest of 17 people, 14 of whom were minors. The investigation files describe the systematic dissemination of videos, images, stickers and documents glorifying ‘white supremacy’, the Ku Klux Klan and Nazi esotericism, as well as illustrated manuals for the homemade construction of explosive devices and catalogues of military weapons used in major supremacist attacks. The suspects are charged, amongst other things, with propaganda and incitement to racial hatred, training for terrorist activities, and membership of organisations aimed at disseminating extremist content via messaging platforms.
