An Alaskan man, Panos Anastasiou, aged 76, has been arrested on multiple counts of making threats against six justices of the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS). The arrest, which took place on Wednesday, included nine counts of making threats against a federal judge and 13 counts of making threats in interstate commerce.
An indictment filed by the Department of Justice revealed that Anastasiou began sending threatening messages towards the Supreme Court Justices and their family members starting from January 4, 2024. The messages contained violent, racist, and homophobic rhetoric, along with threats of harm such as assassination via torture, hanging, and firearms. Additionally, Anastasiou encouraged others to participate in these violent acts.
