Police arrest 12 neo-Nazis in Italy for plotting to assassinate Prime Minister Meloni

Italian police have arrested 12 members of a neo-Nazi group called the "Werewolf Division," accused of plotting to assassinate Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The group aimed to spark civil war and establish an authoritarian regime based on Aryan supremacy. Raids across Italy uncovered Nazi symbols, weapons, and evidence of plans to attack Meloni as she left parliament. The group had been preparing for the attack, discussing training and reconnaissance missions. The investigation linked the group to a previous organization, "The Order of Hagal," which was dissolved in 2022 for similar violent plans. Police did not find firearms or explosives during the raids.
