Paris, March 27 (IANS) Eighteen right-wing activists were on Monday to stand trial in France over a series of offences by a neo-Nazi gang known as the White Wolves Klan, a media report said on Monday.
Among those due to appear in the court in Amiens city is "notorious" far-right activist Serge Ayoub, the BBC reported.
They face 35 charges, including armed violence, theft and attempted murder.
Ayoub was forced to disband two far-right groups he led after sympathisers were involved in a brawl in which a Left-wing activist died.
Several of those on trial for their role in the White Wolves Klan were linked to the groups banned in 2013 -- the Third Way and the Revolutionary Nationalist Youth.
According to prosecutors, the alleged offences took place between 2012 and 2014 and involved attacks on rival groups or former members trying to leave the gang.
