Nucleo Nacional has effectively been ordered to disband after a series of police raids uncovered disturbing material and a dangerous cache of weapons.
The neo-Nazi cell must cease all activity after the Policia Nacional found more than 20 guns and a large amount of ammunition during a national operation that saw 14 members arrested.
A judge has also ordered their social media be blocked after it emerged they had allegedly been recruiting young people and children, both online and via in-person activities, while ‘encouraging violence and discrimination.’
Officers also recovered Tasers, knives, extendable batons, tactical shields and other weapons during 12 searches across Spain, including at the organisation’s Madrid headquarters.
Footage of the raids shows how one property had a framed picture of Adolf Hitler, the evil German dictator who slaughtered more than six million jews during World War Two.
The judge said Nucleo Nacional’s premises in Madrid, Burgos and Valladolid must be closed and sealed. Its social media profiles and content have also been ordered blocked.
The suspects are being investigated over alleged membership of an unlawful association and hate offences targeting vulnerable groups and people with opposing political views.
The association itself has been placed under investigation as a legal entity.
The arrested suspects must surrender their passports, remain in Spain and report to court weekly.
Five people were arrested in Madrid, three in Asturias and two in Valladolid.
A further four were detained in Guadalajara, Pontevedra, Burgos and Alicante, with one arrest in each province.
Police also seized supremacist and extremist material during the raids, which took place on Friday, November 6.
