Danish teen jailed for 5 and 1/2 years for aiding far-right group

A 16-year-old Danish male has been sentenced to 5-1/2 years in jail for aiding and trying to recruit a classmate to an international neo-Nazi organization, a court in Denmark ruled on Thursday.

The teenager was arrested in April last year and later charged with joining the far-right international online group called Feuerkrieg Division (FKD).

The court found him not guilty of the main charge, which was joining the group with the intent to commit acts of terrorism. However, he was found guilty of trying to recruit a classmate to FKD and other counts of aiding it, such as sharing manuals on bomb-making.
