Spanish police arrested three individuals in Castellón, Spain, suspected of belonging to the Base, a globally recognized neo-Nazi terrorist group. The arrests, made on Tuesday, November 25th, dismantled what authorities believe is the first accelerationist terrorist cell detected in the country. The suspects are accused of terrorist organization membership, recruitment, training, illegal weapons possession, and were found to possess firearms, ammunition, tactical gear, and neo-Nazi materials. Investigations began earlier in the year, revealing the group's tactical training, online recruitment activities, and increasingly violent rhetoric, including calls for attacks. The cell leader was reportedly in contact with the US founder of the Base, Rinaldo Nazzaro, who advocated for attacks to destabilize Western democracies.
