MONTREAL – The RCMP say they arrested a Quebec man Thursday on charges of hate speech and 3D printing of firearms.
The police say they seized a “significant quantity” of 3D printers and a homemade firearm belonging to 37-year-old Pascal Tribout of Saint-Joseph-du-Lac, about 40 kilometres northwest of Montreal.
Police also say in a news release today that Tribout made hateful comments against the Jewish community on social media platform Telegram.
He faces five charges including weapons trafficking, wilful promotion of hatred, possession of a prohibited firearm and possession and distribution of data that can be used to manufacture firearms with a 3D printer.
The operation was carried out by the RCMP’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team.
Police say Tribout remains in custody pending further legal proceedings.
