Authorities will allege the 44-year-old used a social media account to post threats to kill members of a Jewish association on the group’s social media page.
A western Sydney man could face up to a decade in prison after federal police charged him with threatening to kill Jewish community leaders, marking the first charges laid by a Commonwealth law enforcement operation to clamp down on antisemitism.
Authorities will allege the man, who was granted bail and will appear in court on February 26, used a social media account to post threats to kill members of a Jewish association on that group’s social media page. The alleged offences carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
“Special Operation Avalite is committed to keeping Australians safe and protecting our way of life. Antisemites should be on notice. If you engage in antisemitic conduct, you will be investigated and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
