THE alleged author of more than 100 neonazi threats targeting national and regional politicians was arrested in a raid on his Berlin home on Monday, German authorities confirmed yesterday.

The 53-year-old is accused of sending a series of race-baiting, insulting and threatening letters since August 2018.

Many of the messages were signed “from the NSU 2.0,” a reference to the now disbanded National Socialist Underground (NSU), a far-right terrorist group responsible for a number of murders and terrorist actions against immigrants and prominent left-wing figures.
