Three people were arrested, two of them near Forli airport. Neo-Nazi propaganda was also seized, in the raids. The raids were part of an investigation into Italian far-right help for Russian-backed separatist forces in eastern Ukraine, local media said.

woolley Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 So they were looking to sell them on elsewhere rather than use them in Italy. Does that make them terrorists or arms smugglers? Are companies who manufacture arms or trade weapons into theatres of conflict around the world terrorists, along with governments who facilitate such trade? Is it only OK if it has official sanction and helps GDP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
