The charges stem from posts the man made regarding a drag performer who is scheduled to carry the Olympic Torch in Paris. The user threatened to take action against the Games if the planned Torch parade went ahead.  

The group's members have consistently posted similar threats, as well as numerous videos showing members assaulting people.

Group Members React To Channel Administrator's Arrest

On July 18, in the neo-Nazi group chat, the admin published a post reacting to the arrest of the group's owner on suspicion of preparing attacks during the Paris Olympics next week. 

Group Administrator Threatens Olympics

The group shared on May 1 a video of drag queen Minima Gesté. The channel's admin wrote: "Drag queen 'Minima Gesté' is to carry the Olympic flame as a torchbearer during the Paris 2024 Olympics. It's simple, the government is playing with our balls. If this person is really going to carry the Olympic flame, I will take action."

Group Members Attack Alleged Pedophiles, Threaten More Violence

A member of the group shared a video of a presumed pedophile being beaten up. The victim, whose eyes are concealed, was made to look at the camera and declare: "I am a slut. Long live the French Aryan Division." The channel wrote: "The individual in the video is 36 years old. He bragged about his minor girl prey on social media. A D.A.F team organized, and a meeting was set. The man being both a pedophile and an antifa, he received a few blows. More videos will be coming soon, see you very soon. Thank you for your support."
