Cuba Periodistas: How A Neo-Nazi Group Is Using Sports Clubs To Recruit Young People And Build A 'Militia' In The UK, US And Europe
“Reviving England’s warrior culture” by posing as a sports club. That is what a far-right group linked to a violent white supremacist collective is doing, which has been recruiting young people to achieve that goal, according to a BBC investigation. […] Alexander Ritzmann, a researcher at the international organisation The Counter Extremism Project and an advisor to the European Commission's Radicalisation Awareness Network, says he has “never seen a far-right network grow so fast”. He described Active Club as a “sophisticated operation” and warned that if it was allowed to “continue to operate and multiply, the likelihood of targeted political violence would increase.” He added that his aim was to “build a kind of militia hidden behind the image of a sports club, but which in reality is preparing for organised violence.”
