Neo-Nazis associated with the Azov Brigade, banned in Russia, planned to stage an armed uprising in Spain.
Spanish police arrested the leader of the neo-Nazi group Núcleo Nacional, Ivan Rico Oliveras, known as Toad, on suspicion of preparing an armed rebellion. Along with him, 13 other people were arrested. A Spanish court suspended the activities of Gerain Leumi, ordered the closing of its offices and the freezing of its accounts. In August, some members of the group, who were already under police surveillance, visited Ukraine and established contacts with members of the Azov Brigade.
Yesterday, the Ukrainian embassy in Spain denied information that Spanish neo-Nazis underwent military training in Azov. At the same time, the Spanish police have photographs and videos of Nucleo Nacional members shooting Kalashnikovs during a trip to Ukraine.
