Neo-Nazi Leader Charged with Plot to Poison Jewish Children in NYC

Michail Chkhikvishvili, head of the Maniac Murder Cult, faces multiple charges for planning hate crimes and mass violence.

Chkhikvishvili allegedly planned to dress as Santa Claus and distribute poisoned candy to children at Jewish schools in Brooklyn.
He was arrested in Moldova on July 6 following an Interpol warrant and is awaiting extradition to the U.S.
The suspect used encrypted messaging platforms to recruit others for violent acts targeting minorities and Jewish communities.
Authorities say he distributed a manifesto promoting neo-Nazi ideologies and detailed methods for committing mass terror attacks.
If convicted, Chkhikvishvili faces up to 50 years in prison for solicitation of violent felonies and other related charges.
