10 years for alleged 'paedo-rights' terrorist caught with Nazi flag, firearms components
Summary
Mark Wolf, a 37‑year‑old UK national, was sentenced to ten years in prison in Dublin for possession of firearm components and child‑abuse material. He was found in a hostel on Gardiner Street with a Nazi flag, firearms parts, disturbing videos of atrocities, and texts about killing children. Gardaí seized four mobile phones containing child‑pornographic images, Snapchat chats with teenage girls, and videos of a live stream of the Christchurch mosque shootings. Wolf also attempted to register domain names such as paedo‑rights and accessed dark‑web sites with child‑abuse resources. He pleaded guilty to four charges of possessing firearm parts, three charges of importing such parts, and three charges of possessing child pornography. The judge, taking his guilty pleas into account, imposed concurrent terms of ten years for the firearm offences and two years for the child‑abuse material, back‑dated to his June 2021 arrest.
