A man has appeared in court, charged with possessing violent extremist material following an Australian Federal Police investigation.<\/p>\n
Police allege the 25-year-old man arrived at Brisbane International Airport in September last year, where he was flagged by Australian Border Force personnel for a baggage search and device examination.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is alleged the officers found evidence of extremist material on the man’s phone, and referred the matter to the AFP for further investigation.<\/p>\n
AFP officers allege they found further violent material on the device, including videos of mass shootings and other files.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The AFP says the search came as a result of an investigation into the man after the ABF intercepted a package addressed to him in May, 2024 which allegedly contained Nazi flags.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The AFP says officers visited the man’s home at that time and provided him with a factsheet about the display of illegal symbols.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Officers executing a search warrant at a home in Morayfield on Thursday took the man into custody.<\/p>\n
He was charged with one count of possessing or controlling violent extremist material obtained or accessed using a carriage service.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He appeared in Caboolture Magistrates Court on Friday and was refused bail.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He is due to appear next in Brisbane Magistrates Court early next month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man has appeared in court, charged with possessing violent extremist material following an Australian Federal Police investigation.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":462584,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[162836,29623,45387,63,86235,29622,36619,122789,43,237363,45233,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-462583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-abf","tag-afp","tag-arrest","tag-australia","tag-australian-border-force","tag-australian-federal-police","tag-brisbane-magistrates-court","tag-extremist-material","tag-headlines","tag-morayfield","tag-nazi","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462583","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=462583"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462583\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/462584"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=462583"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=462583"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=462583"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
