Four members of the far-right group known as Revolución Federal have been indicted on allegations they incited violence and hate.

The group’s leader Jonathan Morel was charged on Thursday by Federal Judge Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi with "incitement to hatred, intolerance and collective violence against a president." Three others – Leonardo Franco Sosa, Gastón Ezequiel Ángel Guerra and Sabrina Basile – will also face the same charges, according to the judge’s ruling.

The leaders of Revolución Federal were accused of "publicly inciting hatred, intolerance and collective violence against a president in a specific context, to the point of effectively making a person carry out what, in the words of the members of Revolución Federal, was to 'go down in history' – i.e. to make an attempt on the life of the vice-president."

The indictments handed down by Martínez de Giorgi are part of a parallel case to the one investigating the failed assassination attempt against Vice-President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, which took place on 1 September.

Morel and his affiliates first drew attention after erecting a guillotine in the Plaza de Mayo in what they maintain was a legitimate act of artistic and political expression.
