Nazi Sympathizer Jailed for Brutal Attack on Jewish Victim

On November 14th, 2025, Puccini, a 24-year-old man, was found guilty of attempted murder and sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 17 years. The court heard that the victim had initially "fallen far and fast" for Puccini, who had created a persona of a successful model who traveled the world and even appeared on the cover of Australian Vogue.

However, the victim's friends soon became suspicious of Puccini's claims and uncovered evidence that he was a Nazi supporter, which was particularly concerning as the victim is Jewish. After the victim broke up with Puccini, who had legally changed his name in 2024, he was bombarded with calls and messages threatening that he would "regret it."

Puccini's search history on his phone included chilling phrases such as "hammer hit to head," "does Leeds Bradford Airport have anywhere to throw a knife away," "painless death," and "the power of raping someone." On the day of the attack, Puccini sneaked into the victim's student accommodation and persuaded him to let him in, before striking him over the head with a hammer and attempting to perform a vasectomy on him.

The victim managed to pretend to be unconscious, and Puccini eventually left. Puccini was later arrested at Leeds Bradford Airport after disposing of the knife, but not before he had sent sexually explicit videos of the victim to his family.
