JAILED | Piotr Kucharski, 49, from Hertfordshire, has been sentenced to 2.5 years in prison for professing to be a member of a proscribed organisation. Kucharski attended a combat and re-enactment event in Suffolk where he threatened participants with a knife. While there he publicly claimed he was a member of the Wagner Group and that he had previously fought in Ukraine. There was no evidence to suggest that he was a legitimate member of the group, nor that he had fought in Ukraine.

CONVICTED | Callum Parslow, 32, from Worcester, has been found guilty of attempted murder following a knife attack in April this year.    During the trial, the jury heard how Parslow had carefully planned the attack which had been weeks in the making. This included purchasing a knife from the US and preparing a manifesto that he intended to publish online following the attack.    After his arrest, officers found material on his phone including Parslow giving a Nazi salute, Nazi symbols, and pictures of a tattoo on his arm of Adolf Hitler’s signature.
