Italy Moves on Ukro-Nazis

News you won't find in the litterbox liners....

...Italian police announced a series of raids against the neo-Nazi Order of Hagal organization. Accused of stockpiling weapons and planning terror attacks, the group has established operational ties to the Ukrainian Azov Battalion.

Five members of an Italian neo-Nazi organization known as the “Order of Hagal” were arrested on November 15th while an additional member remains wanted by authorities. He happened to be in Ukraine, fighting Russian forces alongside the Azov Battalion, which has been formally integrated into the Ukrainian military. 

The “Hagal” members are accused of plotting terrorist attacks on civilian and police targets....

The Azov Battalion is a group of neo-Nazis which has been heavily involved in terrorizing and murdering Russophiles in the eastern portion of Ukraine for a decade or more.  As to Hagal, it's likely that their animus toward Italy has to do with the election of Giorgia Meloni.
