Trump State Department Designates Antifa Linked Group as Global Terrorists

The U.S. State Department, in partnership with the Treasury, has designated Autistici/Inventati (A/I Collective), an Italy-based extremist group, as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. This collective provides sophisticated digital infrastructure, including encrypted communications and anonymity tools, to violent Antifa cells and other far-left militants in the U.S. and Europe, as well as Islamic terrorists. The designation blocks all U.S. property interests of the group and prohibits U.S. persons from engaging in transactions with them.

• The U.S. State Department has designated the Italy-based Autistici/Inventati (A/I Collective) as a global terrorist outfit.
• The A/I Collective provides technological support, including encrypted chats, web hosting, and anonymity shields, to violent Antifa cells and other far-left extremist groups.
• The group also provides services to Islamic terrorists, aiding in organization, recruitment, propaganda dissemination, and planning of violent attacks.
• The A/I Collective manually vets users for ideological affinity before granting access to its services.
• As a result of the designation, all U.S. property and interests in property of the A/I Collective are blocked, and U.S. persons are prohibited from transacting with them.
