Giorgia Meloni Targeted in Neo-Nazi Assassination Plot

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, a controversial figure in European politics, has reportedly been the target of an assassination plot orchestrated by a neo-Nazi group known as the Werwolf Division. Alongside Meloni, Klaus Schwab, chairman of the World Economic Forum, was also allegedly marked for attack.  

 

Last week, anti-terrorism police conducted sweeping raids across Italy, arresting 12 individuals linked to the far-right supremacist group. The suspects are accused of plotting violent acts against Meloni and others, including potential sniper attacks near the parliament building and the prime minister’s office at Palazzo Chigi in Rome. According to Italian media, the group referred to Meloni as a “fascist who persecutes fascists” and had been discussing plans to target her since 2023.  

 

Italy’s national anti-terrorism prosecutor, Giovanni Melillo, emphasized the severity of the threat, noting that the case revealed the growing danger of neo-Nazi networks in Europe. “This is an important investigation, which is a development of another one currently under consideration by the Court of Naples,” Melillo stated. “Both demonstrate the extreme danger of neo-Nazi networks branching out in Europe, which have long been underestimated.”  

 

Investigators revealed that the plot had reached advanced stages of planning. Alleged members of the Werwolf Division reportedly sought to recruit snipers for their plans and identified potential vantage points near government buildings. One suspect allegedly remarked, “There’s a hotel in front of Parliament from where you can shoot from above,” while another reportedly said, “Find me a sniper and we will implement your plan.”  

 

The charges against the arrested individuals include terrorism, incitement to racial, ethnic, and religious discrimination, and illegal possession of firearms. The investigation, led by DIGOS anti-terror police units in Bologna and Naples, also targeted 25 additional suspects, aged between 19 and 76, accused of promoting and organizing the activities of the Werwolf Division.  

 

Authorities revealed that the group used the Telegram messaging app for propaganda and recruitment efforts. They later created a splinter group, the New Dawn Division, to mask their more extreme plans and train "warriors" for violent operations. Police reported uncovering a flyer in 2022 depicting a masked gunman alongside Nazi imagery, which they said promoted revolt and insurrection.  

 

The Werwolf Division draws its name from a Nazi resistance force established during World War II to carry out sabotage and guerrilla warfare against Allied troops. This historical reference underscores the group’s ideological ties to far-right extremism.  

 

The alleged assassination plot has roots in earlier investigations. Some of the suspects were identified during police operations in 2023, while the case itself builds on connections to the Order of Hagal, another supremacist group disbanded by authorities in 2022. In court, one of the suspects, Alessandro Giuliano, claimed he distanced himself from the group upon realizing their activities had escalated to dangerous levels.  

 

This alarming case highlights the enduring presence of neo-Nazi networks in Europe and their capacity for violence. While the motives behind the plot against Meloni remain unclear, the incident underscores the ongoing threat posed by extremist ideologies and the challenges faced by authorities in dismantling these dangerous organizations.

I guess she wasn't fascist enough for them! 😀

Perhaps the Werewolf Division should look at what happened to the Werewolf Division during the war. They were all executed when caught for wearing allied uniforms.

Perhaps not, there’s a monument to Mussolini in Rome.

 

Much as I love the city, fascism never left the place.
