Vitor Dias, now 21, had a fascination with Adolf Hitler and Nazi creed. A neo-Nazi cleaner has admitted collecting a stash of terrorist manuals from the age of 16, including how to make a home-made submachine gun. Vitor Dias, now 21, had a fascination with Adolf Hitler and Nazi creed when he downloaded material from the internet over four years, the Old Bailey heard. He pleaded guilty to four counts of possessing a document containing information useful for terrorist purposes with a further three similar offences to lie on the court file. (…) when Dias was aged between 16 and 20, he had collected terrorist material and information demonstrating a extreme mindset. It included information on how to make explosives and ammunition, and building a home-made submachine gun “from scratch” using metal sheets and tubes. He also possessed a manual detailing guerrilla tactics, equipment and weapons, home-made explosives, firearms manufacture and booby traps. Mr Amis said: “The material in his possession and communications in which he has taken part indicate that Vitor Dias is an adherent of Nazi ideology and far-right political causes, embracing as it does a hatred of Jews, LGBT persons and foreigners.
