Three Arrested as Spain Dismantles First Cell Linked to Neo‑Nazi Group The Base

Police cite weapons seizures, paramilitary training, direct contact with founder Rinaldo Nazzaro.

Overview

  • National police said raids in Castellón broke up an accelerationist cell after a months-long counterterrorism probe.
  • Officers seized two firearms, ammunition, training replicas, knives, tactical gear and neo-Nazi material during searches.
  • Authorities allege the group recruited online, praised violence and prepared for selective attacks after paramilitary training.
  • The suspected leader was remanded by the Audiencia Nacional, with charges including terrorist membership and illegal weapons possession.
  • Investigators say the leader maintained direct contact with Nazzaro, who recently urged cross-border consolidation of cells; the Base is listed as a terrorist group by the EU and several countries.
