Soldiers in Uruguay part of neo-Nazi network

Uruguayan police has found out that two neo-Nazi groups were made up by army servicemen, the daily newspaper "El País" has reported. The National Information and Intelligence Direction and the South District of the capital Montevideo's police department made an investigation into the group members by pursuing them and bugging their telephones. The soldiers were apparently part of a neo-Nazi network whose members connect via the Internet and which operates in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. The groups have five to eight cells, and the majority of members are single young men from the moderately wealthy backgrounds, the investigators said.
