Brenton Tarrant, the self-declared white supremacist who killed 50 Muslim worshippers in one of New Zealand’s bloodiest terror attacks, has reportedly sent money to French nationalist movement Génération identitaire, AFP reports.

In 2017, the Australian terrorist sent 2,200 euros to the far-right movement. According to German news platform DW, a police official from Germany’s investigative Federal Criminal Police Office «told parliamentarians that the suspect sent Génération Identitaire the sum between September 18 and 25, 2017».

Speaking to French newspaper Liberation, the French «controversial» movement denied having «been sent money by Brenton Tarrant».

The Austrian intelligence services revealed that, in 2018, Brenton Tarrant sent money to the Identitarian Movement of Austria (IBÖ), another far-right movement. The co-founder and leader of IBÖ Martin Sellner has indeed acknowledged having received a transfer of 1,500 euros from Brenton Tarrant.

Meanwhile, Libération said yesterday that the government has announced that it is «studying» ways to dissolve Génération identitaire.

For the record, the Australian terrorist who opened fire on Muslim worshippers at two mosques in Christchurch, published days after the attack a racist and Islamophobic manifesto on social media. In his manifesto, the self-declared white supremacist, explained why he committed the attacks.
