A man from Queensland has found himself in hot water after allegedly making threats towards a Jewish community centre in Melbourne through social media. According to detectives from the Counter-Terrorism Investigation Group, the 52-year-old man made some "verbal threats" towards the centre, which is located in Caulfield, on Saturday. As a result, he was arrested later that same day in the Yarraman State Forest and his phone was seized for further investigation.
In a recent court appearance in Pennsylvania, a man by the name of Luigi Mangione was denied bail as he was suspected of shooting a CEO. However, this is a separate case and not related to the incident at the Jewish community centre in Melbourne. The man who was arrested is facing charges for using a carriage service to harass, menace, or cause offense. He is set to appear before the Nanango Magistrates Court on January 16.
According to the police, the incident at the community centre is not connected to the recent arson attack on a synagogue in Melbourne. The attack on the Adass Israel synagogue in Ripponlea on December 6 is now being treated as an act of terror, with authorities focusing on three suspects. In light of this, the police have stated that due to a change in legislation in Queensland, cases of serious vilification and hate crime are now considered criminal matters. They also added that they will be actively investigating and prosecuting anyone responsible for such acts.
