A man accused of plotting to blow up a South Australian electrical substation to advance the cause of white nationalism has been found not guilty of preparing to commit an act of terrorism. Artem Vasilyev, 27, of Findon, in Adelaide’s western suburbs, had pleaded not guilty to one count of committing other acts done in preparation for, or planning, a terrorist act, between July 22, 2020 and September 28, 2021.
Prosecutor Justin Hannebery KC had told the court Vasilyev was an adherent to a political ideology that had the promotion of white nationalism as its goal, through force and terror. Henchcliffe said Vasilyev had a “very curious mind” and had obtained documents from all sorts of places. “There was a substantial quantity of extreme and racist material and I don’t in any way defend the ideology of that,” he said. “He had some esoteric interest but that does not excuse the indefensible.
