The Belgian Attorney General has ordered an investigation into the activities of neo-Nazi movements and possible arms-smuggling into the country. The investigation was started at the request of the District Attorney of Liege where the “Rexist” neo-Nazi movement is believed to be particularly active.
The first investigations have disclosed numerous posters and pamphlets which the “National Popular Front” was preparing to disseminate throughout the country. Police also found Nazi insignias, photographs of former Belgian Nazi collaborator Leon Degrelle, flags with Nazi emblems as well as former Hitlerite marching songs. Besides a few daggers, no weapons have been found.
