Neo-Nazi Matthew Cronjager has been sentenced to 11 years and four months in youth detention. A teenage neo-Nazi who plotted to shoot an Asian friend who he likened to a “cockroach” has been locked up for more than 11 years. Matthew Cronjager, 18, tried to get hold of a 3D printed gun or a sawn-off shotgun to kill his target, because he “slept with white chicks”. Following a trial at the Old Bailey, Cronjager was found guilty of preparing for acts of terrorism and disseminating terrorist publications on Telegram, an online messaging platform. The court heard that the teenager had set himself up as the “boss” of a right-wing terror cell and created an online library to share right-wing propaganda and explosives-making manuals. An undercover police officer, who had infiltrated a Telegram group called The British Hand, managed to scupper Cronjager’s plans. On the first day of his trial, Cronjager – originally from Ingatestone in Essex – admitted four charges of possessing terror documents. On Tuesday, the defendant was sentenced to a total of 11 years and four months in youth detention. Judge Mark Lucraft QC told him: “In giving evidence in the trial it was obvious that you are a bright and intelligent young man. “In a way that makes the content of some of the messages you sent all the more troubling. “In my view you are someone who played a leading role in terrorist activity where the preparations were not far advanced.”

A teenager who planned to build a weapons storage bunker for attacks by a far-right group has been jailed for more than 11 years. Matthew Cronjager, 18, was the UK leader of the internet-based Exiled 393 organisation and discussed obtaining 3D-printed guns, as well as a shipment of firearms from Europe. He discussed targets included “powerful Jewish figures in banks and stuff” and “classic far-right targets of blame” including gay people and Muslims, the Old Bailey heard. The teenager also said he wanted to “execute” an Asian boy after finding out he had slept with white girls. Cronjager was jailed for a total of 11 years and four months at the Old Bailey on Tuesday. During his trial, he said he had been “just blowing hot air” online and that none of the plans discussed “seemed real”, but he was convicted of preparing acts of terrorism. A jury also found him guilty of disseminating terrorist publications through an online “library” that encouraged attacks. Cronjager previously pleaded guilty to four offences of possessing information useful to a terrorist, over documents containing instructions on how to kill people with your bare hands, make explosives and create homemade firearms. Sentencing him on Tuesday, the Recorder of London said that by the age of 17 Cronjager “supported the extreme right-wing cause” and was “committed to violence”. “In your own words, you held fascist beliefs and wanted to bring about a change of government by violence,” Judge Mark Lucraft QC. “You expressed hatred for people with a different skin colour, Jewish people, Muslims and those with different sexual orientation than your own. You wanted a revolution based on your racial ideology.” The judge said the teenager prepared acts of terrorism by attempting to procure a 3D-printed gun, drawing up plans for a weapons storage bunker and by providing instructions to other like-minded young neo-Nazis.
