Portuguese Neo-Nazi Group Investigated Over Hit List Targeting António Costa. Portuguese authorities investigating a neo-Nazi network have uncovered an alleged hit list that included European Council President António Costa. The investigation focuses on Movimento Armilar Lusitano (MAL), a far-right group accused of promoting racist ideology and organizing along paramilitary lines. Prosecutors say the group sought to recruit members, spread propaganda and build a structured extremist network. The discovery of Costa's name has increased concerns about the seriousness of the case. Authorities have not reported evidence of an imminent attack, but the finding has raised the political scope of the investigation. Police raids linked to the probe led to arrests and the seizure of firearms, ammunition and extremist material. Investigators are also examining the group's contacts with other far-right networks. In Portugal, where organized far-right violence has historically remained limited, the investigation represents one of the most significant crackdowns on extremist activity in recent years. Prosecutors argue that the complexity of the network and the volume of evidence collected justify an extensive and prolonged investigation.
