A 19-year-old French man, alleged to be a neo-Nazi sympathizer, has been sentenced to two years in prison for making threats online. The man was convicted after a swift trial on charges of sharing bomb-making instructions on social media, inciting hate and death threats, as well as posting personal information that put individuals at risk.
The individual, who hails from the Alsace region in eastern France, operated a group named 'French Aryan division' on the social media platform Telegram. While his comments did not specifically target the Paris Olympics, authorities were alerted to his activities by a unit dedicated to combating online hate.
