Simferopol: members of a banned far-right organization detained?

In May 2020, members of a certain banned organization were detained in Simferopol. A case has been opened on the illegal sale of weapons. Perhaps the organization has an ultra-right orientation.

On May 7, 2020, in the city of Simferopol, a member of a cell of a certain organization "banned in a number of regions of the Russian Federation", recognized as extremist by a court decision, was detained.

How many people were detained is not reported. According to law enforcement agencies, one of the suspects is a 38-year-old local resident. His house was searched, during which the components of firearms and far-right symbols were found. Judging by the attached photos, among the items found were: stripes with the symbols of the Third Reich and the SS division "Meter Head" ("Totenkopf"), a portrait of Adolf Hitler, the Russian version of his book "Main Kampf" ("My Struggle"), a Nazi award " Iron Cross", State military flag of the German Empire (used before the creation of the Weimar Republic) and other attributes. These findings may indirectly indicate that we are talking about some kind of ultra-right organization. However, they can also belong to the collector.

A criminal case has been initiated under Part 4 of Art. 222 of the Criminal Code (illegal sale of civilian firearms, smooth-bore long-barreled weapons, firearms of limited destruction, gas weapons, edged weapons, including throwing weapons).

Unfortunately, other details of the case have not been released.   Sources
