According to the prosecutor, the motive was to ignite a race war, for example, by means of terrorist attacks against immigrants.
The group of neo-Nazis influenced the Kankaanpää region in Satakunta for years. Eventually, the police also became interested in the group’s activities. Suspicion about the plans was revealed and now the men are facing charges in court.
According to the prosecutor, the motive of the men who believed in the Siege ideology was to ignite a racial war, for example by means of terrorist attacks against immigrants.
Now the police’s preliminary investigation material also sheds light on the activities of Kankaanpää’s neo-Nazis. The persons shown in the pictures usually have their faces covered with balaclava. They also repeatedly show clear Nazi symbols.

The subpoena application states that the members of the group have adopted a neo-Nazi far-right accelerationist idea in accordance with the Siege ideology. The effort has been to speed up the outbreak of a race war that destroys society, for example by means of terrorist attacks aimed at immigrants.
During the police investigation, the defendants have mostly denied having committed the crimes.
The prosecutor demands prison sentences for the men accused of terrorist crimes.
The court will give its verdict later.
