Neo-Nazi Guilty of Terror Charge Following MI5 Operation
A neo-Nazi has been found guilty of preparing terrorist acts after compiling a list of "race traitors" and attempting to purchase a firearm.
MI5 officers orchestrated a sting operation in which Alfie Coleman, 21, was lured into buying a Makarov pistol and ammunition in September 2023. He was arrested immediately after collecting the weapon from a Land Rover in a car park located in east London.
Coleman, who is from Great Notley, Essex, was convicted following a retrial. The initial jury at the Old Bailey failed to reach a verdict during the first hearing.
The court was informed that Coleman was a far-right "militant accelerationist" who believed in engaging in a race war.
