However, Paul Dunleavy had denied preparing an attack, he joined a neo-Nazi group called Feuerkrieg Division (FKD), which was later banned as a terrorist organization.

Paul Dunleavy is jailed for five years and six months for preparing acts of terrorism by researching how to convert a blank-firing gun into a live weapon and providing “advice and encouragement” to others online.

When police searched Paul’s bedroom they found knives, air rifles, face coverings, camouflage face paint, shotgun cartridges, and bullet casings. Along with the items, a notebook was also seized containing swastikas, which had details of lone-wolf attacks and a mocked-up logo representing an extreme-right group he wanted to form.

Judge Farrer said that Dunleavy also offered practical advice on firearms to the group members, most of them have been convicted of terrorism in other countries.

“Your autism impacts on your maturity and understanding,” said Judge Farrer. He told the defendant that he had an intention to commit an act of terrorism, but added that he was unlikely to follow the plans, describing his preparations “inept.”

After Dunleavy joined the group he began communicating with an undercover police officer, telling him “I’m getting armed and getting in shape.” Evidence also showed that Paul wanted to create a firearm capable of “smashing heads” after joining a far-right group.
