Cardiff teenager charged with being a member of proscribed neo-Nazi group Feuerkrieg Division

A Cardiff teenager has been charged with terror offences which include allegedly being a member of the proscribed neo-Nazi group Feuerkrieg Division.

Luca Benincasa, 19, was arrested on 1st February by Wales Extremism and Counter Terrorism Unit (WECTU) officers and appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court on 3rd February. 

Mr Benincasa was also charged with four counts of possessing information likely to be of use to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.

Mr Benincasa was remanded in custody and was due to appear at the Old Bailey yesterday, though it is understood that he will instead appear at Winchester Crown Court on 13th August.

Last year, a teenager from Cornwall, who became the UK’s youngest terror offender and was believed to have been in contact with the founder of Feuerkrieg Division, was controversially spared a custodial sentence.

Campaign Against Antisemitism has been monitoring and acting against the threat from the far-right for years and continues to support the authorities following suit.
