The trailer filled with explosives, which previously described Australian politicians as an anti -Semitic story of terrorism, and criminals were erected against anti -Semitic terrorism and a mass loss was dissolved on Monday.
Law enforcement agencies investigating the opening of the trailer on the outskirts of Sydney in January, branched out in a press conference that its location was invented by criminals who aimed to obtain personal benefits from the transfer of the authorities to his presence – a bizarre twisting in the Sag.
Navastya attacks oriented at the place where they live, work, work and learn, including Fire synagogue Both the Kindergarten and several cases of anti -Semitic vandalism were committed “a very small group, and perhaps one person behind all these issues,” said Deputy Commissioner of the New Southern Wales David Monday on Monday.

In January, the authorities expressed an unusual statement that none of the 12, which they later arrested against a number of crimes in the largest cities in Australia Sydney and Melbourne, were ruled by anti -Semitic ideology and were instead criminals. Hudson said 14 had not yet been arrested on Monday.
But he added that there was no doubt that anti-Semitism in Australia is dominated by the media and political sphere after the recent series of Escalation over the last 18 months since October 7, 2023, which led the terrorist attack on Israel, which caused this War in gas.
Previous data published by the Australian Jewish Executive Council, only a few months later, showed that 662 anti -Semitic incidents were registered in October and November 2023.
“For comparison, 495 anti-Jewish incidents were registered in Australia over the last 12 months before September 30, 2023,” the Council said at the time.
In response to the growth of such incidents, Australia Accepted new laws In January 2024, he clearly forbidden the speech of the Nazi salute in public and the demonstration or sale of Nazi symbols of hatred such as Swastika. The new laws also made an act of glorification or the smelling of terrorism with a criminal offense.
“In essence
But it seems that a number of incidents were part of a complex criminal hoax, not, in fact, implemented in anti -Semitism.
Opening – leaked to the public before law enforcement agencies planned to report it – that in January the trailer was found in January outside Sydney, stuffed with explosives used in the mining industry and contained a list of alleged Jewish purposes, pushed state and national leaders to say violence.
But the investigators said on Monday that they “almost immediately” believed that the appearance of the trailer “was part of the fabricated terrorist plot, in fact, criminal work,” but retained their suspicion, according to Australian Federal Police Deputy Commissioner Chris Baret.
The trailer was easily found and the explosives were noticeably reflected. “In addition, there was no detonator,” Barrett said, adding that it “will never cause a mass event.”
Instead, those who put the caravan planned to inform the authorities about the rapid attack on the Jewish Australians, Barrett said. Why investigators believed that they did it not easy.
Motivation, foreign interests and guilty still at large
Barrett and Hadson, speaking on behalf of the joint efforts of law enforcement agencies collected for arrest guilty of anti -Semitic crimes, said they considered those who faked the plot to attract the attention of the authorities, distract the police, create fear and use the situation for personal benefits. This may include attempts to use the attack information to agree with the police for smaller sentences in other criminal cases.
“We believe that a person who pulls the lines wanted to change his criminal status, but supported the distance from their scheme and hired allegedly local criminals,” Barrett said. This man remains at large, she added.
Since January, the authorities have said they believe that foreign interests have been organizing crimes, although they were no more specific. They also did not disperse what local criminal groups could be hired for the attacks that included hated graffiti.

It was not the only time it happened, Barrett added. “Too many violators who work in the criminal concern, accept these tasks for money,” she said.
14 people arrested on Monday allegations of more than a dozen investigators who believe were organized.
Strange turns are summer when anti -Semitic crimes threatened Sydney and Melbourne, where 85% of the Australian Jewish population live. One person was physically damaged – a fans who suffered burns in a fire that was installed in Melbourne's synagogue in December.
Hadson said that “some comfort was accepted by the Jewish community,” because the worst episodes were not ideological acts that hate, Hadson said. But the crimes had a “cold influence on the Jewish community” and caused unjustified suspicion in other groups, Barrett added.
Loud attacks are not the only ones who investigate the police. Almost 200 another 200 people have been charged since October 2023 in Novy South Wales, where Sydney is with crimes related to anti -Semitism, the Associated Press reported in February.
