Twelve neo-Nazis have been arrested by Italian police in a foiled assassination plot targeting Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni.
According to local media, the intention was to spark a civil war and overthrow the government.
Police report that a group operating on Telegram, the ‘Werewolf Division’, planned to establish an authoritarian regime ‘centered on the Aryan race’ by instigating violent attacks against high-ranking officials.
Raids took place across the country targeting the group on Wednesday, with a total of 25 homes searched and cops uncovering Nazi insignia, fascist flags and zombie knives.
Members of the group allegedly planned to shoot Meloni in the head as she left parliament, with conversations between them reportedly discussing training sessions and reconnaissance missions around Rome.
‘There is a hotel in front of Parliament – is one of the intercepted conversations – from there you can shoot from above,’ one of them reportedly said in the chilling correspondence. ‘I’ll shoot her in the head,’ another said.
The suspects allegedly referred to the Brothers of Italy politician as a ‘concubine of Zion,’ ‘a fascist until she rose to power’ who ‘now denies being one’ and ‘persecutes fascists’, as well as a ‘traitor’.
Police also uncovered an additional secretive Telegram group, Movimento Nuova Alba, was established to discuss the group’s most violent acts.
Meloni recently shared a moment with President Trump during his visit to France to celebrate the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral.
