On November 6, the United Kingdom sentenced a teenager who “advised” a Lithuanian neo-Nazi, who planted a bomb outside Western Union offices in Vilnius in September last year.
According to the Coventry Telegraph newspaper, 17-year-old Paul Dunleavy “sent how-to manuals and gave advice on building viable guns to other far-right extremists”.
The British law enforcement infiltrated an online chat where Dunleavy gave "significant advice and encouragement" to other neo-Nazi members of the group.
Three members of the group “had since been convicted of terrorist offences in Germany, Lithuania and the United States”, according to the Coventry Telegraph. They were all aligned to a neo-Nazi terrorist group Feuerkrieg Division (FKD).

In recent years, law enforcement across the world have largely dismantled the FKD group, which adheres to the writings of a known American neo-Nazi, James Mason.
Dunleavy was jailed for five-and-a-half years at Birmingham Crown Court. The judge said the teenager’s autism had led to "an obsessional interest in firearms".
In September, Gediminas Beržinskas, who planted the bomb in Vilnius, was sentenced to two years and four months in prison.
