‘The suspects were recruiting participants, including minors, to carry out coordinated attacks using improvised explosives and Molotov cocktails,’ the police said in a statement.
The Justice Ministry said the recruiters identified themselves as members of Gaga’s global fan base, known as the ‘Little Monsters.’
The operation was based on a report by the ministry’s Cyber Operations Lab following a tip-off from Rio state police intelligence, which uncovered digital cells encouraging violent behavior among teenagers using coded language and extremist symbolism.
A man described as the group’s leader was arrested in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul for illegal possession of a firearm, while a teenager in Rio de Janeiro was detained for storing child pornography.
