He is the first suspected right-wing extremist under this type of order since it was created in 2011.
A man has become the first alleged neo-Nazi to be placed under special government powers for monitoring and controlling suspected terrorists, it has emerged.Last year, he was subjected to terrorism prevention measures which place strict limits on what a person can do.LXB has previously been suspected by the authorities of having the potential to carry out a terrorist attack.
Last week he pleaded guilty to two breaches of the measures by having a video camera and memory card without prior approval from the Home Office. During a hearing at the Old Bailey on Friday, the defendant appeared by video link from prison and was remanded in custody. Sentencing was adjourned until 8 August.Terrorism prevention and investigation measures, known as TPIMs, allow the authorities to monitor and control people considered to be terrorists - but who are not facing criminal charges.
Everyone subjected to a TPIM is given legal anonymity and referred to using a cipher. If the measures are breached, the subject can be prosecuted and jailed. The press and public only ever learn details of individual TPIM subjects when they end up in court for breaches, or for High Court reviews of the measures.
