(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 20 - Police on Friday carried out a nationwide operation coordinated by the State attorney's office in Milan, searching the homes of 11 alleged neo-Nazi activists between the ages of 19 and 24 who are accused of promoting white-supremacist, Nazi and Fascist ideas, as well as racial hatred against Jews and of instigating to commit acts of violence for ethnic and racial motives, judicial sources said.
    The group communicated on the Telegram platform through groups including the 'Tricolor of Italian blood' and 'Fascist spirit', the sources said.
    Security officials found and seized Nazi flags, copies of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf and brass knuckles, among others, as part of the operation coordinated by prosecutor Leonardo Lesti and carried out by postal police and the Digos flying squad. (ANSA).
