(CNN) -- More than a dozen alleged members of
American Front, a down-on-its-luck white supremacist group, were charged
Friday in Florida with participating in paramilitary training,
prosecutors said.
The alleged ringleader of
the group, Marcus Faella, was also charged with directing the
activities of a gang and teaching paramilitary training, they said. Nine
members of the group, including Faella and his wife, Patricia Faella,
were charged with conspiracy to shoot at, within or into a building.
According to police,
Faella was planning to stage provocative disruptions at the Orlando City
Hall and at a Melbourne, Florida, anarchist gathering that included
members of anti-racist skinhead groups.
Faella, police documents
say, wanted to stir up media attention to help gain new recruits for
American Front, which hate-tracking groups says has been faltering since
the death of its leader, David Lynch, in California.
All but one of the 14
people accused in the investigation have been arrested, according to
prosecutors. That person's identity is being held pending arrest.
"Today, Central
Floridians sent a strong message to our communities: the message that
criminal behavior whose thesis is hate and intolerance will not be
allowed to flourish in our neighborhoods," said Lawson Lamar, state
attorney for the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida.
Nationally, American
Front has had a long and violent history, including the beating death of
a Salt Lake City man and a string of 1993 bombings in California,
according to hate-tracking groups.
The 25-year-old group
enjoyed a resurgence in 2007 under Lynch, described by the Southern
Poverty Law Center as a charismatic leader who helped form it in 1987.
But Lynch was shot to death in his home in March 2011, leaving the group
with no clear leader, according to the Anti-Defamation League. It has
shrunk significantly in the past year, according to the Southern Poverty
Law Center.
Most of the group's 50 or so members appear to live in Florida, according to the ADL.


"Faella views himself
and the other members of the AF as the protectors of the white race,"
investigators wrote in an affidavit, referring to the group by its
initials. "Faella has stated his intent during the race war is to kill
Jews, immigrants and other minorities."
Faella bonded out of
jail on Saturday, according to Osceola County, Florida officials. His
wife was released on Sunday, they said.
According to police,
Faella's group watched videos training them in fighting and the use of
AK-47s and other weapons at the compound, which the affidavit said is
ringed with barbed wire and protected by pit bulls and firing positions
facing the driveway.
The property was meant
to become a refuge for white supremacists after the fall of the U.S.
government during a race war, investigators wrote. The group was making
body armor and sniper suits and stocking up on supplies in preparation,
according to police.
On at least one
occasion, a group member who also belonged to the National Guard
provided training to American Front members that he had learned in the
military, according to the affidavit.
The arrests came on the
heels of a two-year investigation based on the reports of a confidential
informant who had to flee the fortified compound on April 28, according
to the arrest affidavit.
At a meeting to plan the
attack on rival skinheads that day, Faella nearly discovered secret
recordings the informant had been making of training exercises,
according to an affidavit released by police.
