‘Banker slime’ was written on the list, however, the district attorney claimed that prosecutors had not disclosed the names of those who were on it.
A “human sacrifice” kill list that included police officers, politicians, and celebrities was discovered, along with a cache of homemade explosives and ghost weapons, according to the authorities, who detained two brothers in New York.
Andrew Hatziagelis, 39, and his brother Angelo, 51, were taken into custody on Monday by Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz on 130 counts, including criminal possession of weapons and associated offenses.
Katz released a statement saying, “The city is safer today.”
A variety of lethal weapons were discovered during the execution of a search warrant on January 17 at the brothers’ Astoria residence, which they shared with family members.
The district attorney stated that among the items discovered were assault guns, semiautomatic “ghost gun” pistols, anarchist literature, and improvised explosive devices, which included eight working bombs.
The phrase “ghost guns” refers to weapons that are “unregulated, unserialized, and untraceable.”
According to reports, the brothers wrote a “hit list” that included judges, police officers, and celebrities.
The district attorney said that the list contained the words “banker scum,” but prosecutors did not make the identities of the people on it public.
One document purportedly including a letter regarding “human sacrifices” that would target “corrupt rapists, pedophiles, murderers, politicians, and judges” was discovered inside the property, according to the New York Post.
The note said, “Wipe out the scum.” “Eradicate the planet.”
A 130-count indictment against the brothers includes accusations of attempted criminal possession, reckless endangerment, and criminal possession of weapons.
NYPD Commissioner Edward A. Caban said in a statement, “Today’s charges underscore the harsh reality that our communities contain a small number of people who conceivably harbor evil intent.”
Caban went on: “This cache of weapons — including explosives and untraceable, 3D-printed ghost guns — had the potential to wreak horrendous carnage.”
They have a February 15 court hearing coming up, and if found guilty, each may spend a maximum of 25 years behind bars.
