Four men go on trial in Paris accused of conspiring to plot neo-Nazi attacks

Defendants allegedly planned attacks on mosques and Jewish targets in France in 2017 and 2018

Four men are going on trial in Paris accused of conspiring as a neo-Nazi terrorist group to plan attacks on mosques and Jewish targets in France in 2017 and 2018.

An investigation was opened in 2018 after Alexandre Gilet, a 22-year-old volunteer deputy gendarme in Grenoble, allegedly ordered products that could be used in explosive devices. The manager of a fireworks shop found his order suspicious and contacted police.
