A neo-Nazi from Glasgow has been convicted of terrorism after he, as part of a far-right group, shared information about how to assemble an automatic weapon.
Farrell, from Pollok, Glasgow had been in contact with like-minded individuals from the north of England and other parts of the UK using Telegram.Last March, members of this group were convicted of offences under the Terrorism Act, and during their trial it was heard they exchanged terror manuals, shared racist ideology and posted videos of atrocities.
"Police Scotland is grateful for the assistance of Counter Terrorism officers from the North East of England, who initiated the investigation which led to Farrell's activities being uncovered. Detective Chief Superintendent Jim Dunkerley, Head of Counter Terrorism Policing North East, added: "Given the online nature of many terrorist and extremist networks, it is not unusual for operations to cross regional and national borders.
