Prosecutors revealed the gang “celebrated racist violence and killing” through encrypted Telegram chats. They exchanged terror manuals, shared vile racist ideology, and posted shocking videos of atrocities. The trial was relocated from Sheffield to Doncaster due to court issues.
“The group described notorious killers like Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh and mass murderer Anders Breivik as ‘saints,’” said prosecutor Annabel Darlow QC. “They also showed an active interest in making explosives and weapons.”

- Daniel Wright (Whinfield Avenue, Keighley) was convicted of disseminating terrorist publications, possessing terrorist articles, collecting terror-related information, and both possessing and making a firearm.
