United States offers huge rewards for information on Antifa groups
The U.S. Department of State’s Rewards for Justice (RFJ) program is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to the disruption of the financial mechanisms of four European-based groups designated by the U.S. government as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs).
Antifa Ost (also known as Antifa East and Hammerbande) is a Germany-based militant group that has conducted numerous attacks against individuals it perceives as fascists or part of the “right-wing scene” in Germany between 2018 and 2023. German authorities also allege that Antifa Ost members injured several people in attacks in Hungary in February 2023 during an annual gathering of neo-Nazis and their supporters. The event draws thousands of right-wing hardliners from across Europe.
Informal Anarchist Federation/International Revolutionary Front (FAI/FRI) is a militant group that operates primarily in Italy, with self-proclaimed affiliates across Europe, South America, and Asia. Since 2003, FAI/FRI has claimed responsibility for threats of violence, bombs, and letter bombs against political and economic institutions, including a courthouse and other “capitalist institutions.”
Armed Proletarian Justice is a Greek anarchist and “anti-capitalist” group that has attempted and conducted improvised explosive device (IED) attacks against Greek government targets. Armed Proletarian Justice claimed responsibility for planting a bomb near the Greek riot police headquarters in Goudi, Greece on December 18, 2023.
Revolutionary Class Self-Defense is a Greek anarchist and “anti-capitalist” group that claims opposition to “capitalist structures,” “state repression,” and solidarity with Palestine. Revolutionary Class Self-Defense claimed responsibility for a February 3, 2024 IED attack targeting the Greece Ministry of Labor and another IED attack on the Hellenic Train offices on April 11, 2025.
On November 20, 2025, the Department of State designated Antifa Ost, FAI/FRI, Armed Proletarian Justice, and Revolutionary Class Self-Defense as FTOs under section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended. As a result, all property, and interests in property, of these four groups subject to U.S. jurisdiction are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in any transactions with these FTOs. It is a crime to knowingly provide, or to attempt or conspire to provide, material support or resources to Antifa Ost, FAI/FRI, Armed Proletarian Justice, and Revolutionary Class Self-Defense.
