The Council of the European Union added the entity “The Base” to the EU’s Terrorist List.
The Base is a right-wing extremist organisation involved in terrorist activities, founded by Rinaldo Nazzaro in 2018. The Council noted that The Base’s funds and other assets or economic resources are subject to freezing in EU member states.
In 2020, some members of The Base were arrested in the United States for plotting to derail trains and poison water supplies.
On January 1, 2000, journalist Jason Wilson published an investigation in The Guardian about The Base. He revealed that Ronaldo Nazario married in New York in 2012 and then hid in Russia. However, Wilson found that Rinaldo Nazarro used the name “Norman Spear” and worked as an English teacher in St Petersburg, Russia.
