The law enforcement agencies are investigating January on the outskirts of Sydney who has blown up to the news that its placement was invented by criminals who intended their own presence – followed monthly-placing anti-Semitic crimes in Australia.
A set of attacks that target places where live jews live, work and study, including a Firebombing Synagogues And a daily center and several cases of anti-Sandalism, she committed a “very small group and a potentially one individual behind all these issues,” said the Deputy Police Commissioner for New South Wales David Hudson on Monday.

In January, the authorities made an unusual claim that none of them was arrested on the crime solution in the largest Australian cities Sydney and Melbourne launched anti-Semitic ideology and were instead of being criminals for employment. Hudson said that nor 14 were lessested on Monday was not motivated by hatred.
But he added that he did not doubt that anti-Semitism in Australia – who dominated the news after a recent crime buffer – she experienced “escalation in the last 18 months” from 7, 2023. Year, a terrorist attacked by Hamas to Israel who launched War in Gaza.
Preliminary data by Australia’s Executive Council announced only a few months after the attack showed a total of 662 anti-Semitic incidents across Australia during October and 2023. Years.
“For comparison, 495 anti-Jewish incidents have been reported in Australia throughout 12 months to 30. September 2023,” the Council said at the time.
In response to the increase in such incidents, Australia brought new laws In January 2024. explicitly ban the Nazi greeting in public and on the screen or selling the Nazi symbols of hatred like the swastika. The new laws were also the act of glory or praise of the deeds of terrorism a criminal offense.
“In essence criminal business”
But a series of incidents seem to now part of the developed criminal fraud, not, in fact rooted anti-Semitism.
Revelation – was leaked to the public before he implements him.
But the investigators said on Monday that “almost immediately” were “part of the trailer” in essence, “the criminal terrorist plot”, but kept their doubts in the secret, the Australian Federal Police Deputy Krissy Barrett.
The trailer is easily found and explosives are visibly displayed. “Also, there was no detonator,” Barrett said, adding that “he would never cause a mass event of accidents.”
Instead, those who have bought caravans planned then inform the authorities of the upcoming attack on Jewish Australians, said Barrett. Why the researchers believed they did it wasn’t easy.
Motivation, foreign interest and culprit still at large
Barrett and Hudson, speaking on behalf of the Law Enforcement Law gathered to arrest the perpetrators of anti-Semitic crimes, said that they believed those who faked the trailer to attract power, create fear and affects personal gain. This could include attempts to use the information on the attack on the agreement with the police for minor penalties in other criminal proceedings.
“We believe that the person who pulls the wires asked for changes in their criminal status, but maintained the distance from his scheme and hired alleged local criminals,” Barrett said. That person remains at large, she added.
The authorities said from January that they believe that in foreign interests orchestrate crimes, although they were not more specific. They also did not reveal which local criminal groups could be engaged to take attacks, which included hate graffiti.

It wasn’t the only way that happened, Barrett added. “Too many offenders working in the criminal economy of the gig accept these tasks for the money,” she said.
14 people were arrested on Monday regarding the person’s accusations compared to more than dozens of investigators who believed they were orchestrated.
Strange distorted summer caps in which anti-Semitic crimes curl up Sydney and Melbourne, home to 85% of the Jewish population of Australia. One person was physically injured – which he adored that suffered burns in the fire that was placed in December at Melbourne Synagogue.
There was a “some comfort that he needs to take him off by the Jewish community,” in the fact that the worst episodes were not ideological form hatred, Hudson said. But crimes had a “cold effect on the Jewish community” and caused unjustified suspicion of other groups, Barrett added.
High profile attacks are not the only police investigate. Almost 200 more people were charged from 20. October in the state of New South Wales, where Sydney, with crimes associated with anti-Semitism, said in February.
