Teen ‘neo-Nazi’ to face August trial
A teenager accused of membership of a banned neo-Nazi group will face trial in August, the Old Bailey heard.
Luca Benincasa, 19, faces five terrorism offences, one of which is belonging to the outlawed group Feuerkrieg Division.
The Feuerkrieg Division, founded in Estonia but with members around the world, was proscribed by the UK government in 2020.
Baby-faced Benincasa appeared in the dock with shoulder-length hair wearing a black suit.
Benincasa is also accused of four counts of possessing information useful to a terrorist, namely documents containing instructions for making bombs, including manuals first created for Islamist Jihadist terror groups.
Prosecutor Adam Harbison told an earlier hearing the documents were found on Benincasa’s laptop along with an unfinished ‘handbook’ for Feuerkrieg Division members.
Benincasa, of Cardiff, was remanded in custody ahead of a plea and trial preparation hearing on 26 June.
His trial was set for 30 August.
