Italy seizes air-to-air missile

Alanbatnews -

 Italian police late Monday announced it had seized weapons including an air-to-air missile in raids sparked by an investigation into far-right extremist groups.

Police arrested three people, including Fabio Del Bergiolo, 50, a former candidate for the neo-fascist Forza Nuova party. Police put him under surveillance before raiding his home and finding neo-Nazi propaganda, Hitler memorabilia, according to the Agence France-Presse (AFP) on Tuesday.

The missile was "without explosive charge, but rearmable by people specialized in the field," police said. 

This is a significant seizure, with few precedents in Italy," said Turin police commissioner Giuseppe De Matteis.
