Rinaldo Nazzaro, the founder of The Base, a US-based neo-Nazi terror group, is reportedly living in Russia in order to escape American authorities, according to an FBI official. The American founder of an international neo-Nazi terror group who is currently living in Russia is under investigation from the FBI. Rinaldo Nazzaro, 49, is a former Pentagon contractor and Department of Homeland Security analyst and in 2018, he founded The Base, a heavily armed, neo-Nazi terror group aiming to incite a race war. Since their formation, members of the group have plotted an assassination and several mass shootings, while several countries such as Canada and the United Kingdom have designated it as an official terrorist organization alongside the likes of ISIS and al Qaeda. Over a dozen members of The Base have been captured in the last few years thanks to an FBI counterterrorism probe against the group with the members apprehended currently serving a combined 100 plus years in prison. However, Nazzaro has never been charged, despite being named in US courts as the founder of the group. Since at least 2018, Vladimir Putin and Russia has provided safe harbour to Nazzaro and as no extradition treaty exists between the two nations, American authorities would seemingly only be able to take action against the individual should he step back in the country.

But the founder has remained a free man, living in Vladimir Putin’s Russia. An FBI official has confirmed the agency is investigating the American founder of an international neo-Nazi terror group who is living in Russia—far from the grasp of U.S. authorities. Rinaldo Nazzaro, 49, a former Pentagon contractor and Department of Homeland Security analyst, founded The Base in late 2018 as a heavily armed, insurgent force preparing to hasten the downfall of modern government and engage in a race war. Since then, members of The Base have plotted an assassination and several mass shootings, and a number of countries, including Canada and the United Kingdom, have designated it as an official terrorist organization alongside ISIS and al Qaeda.
