Victorian JCTT charge third alleged Melbourne synagogue arsonist

The Victorian Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT) has charged a third man over the alleged Adass Israel Synagogue arson attack in December 2024.

The Airport West man, 20, was charged at the Metropolitan Remand Centre, where he is in custody for unrelated offences.

It will be alleged the man is one of three individuals who broke into the Ripponlea synagogue and deliberately set the fire. The JCTT has now charged all three alleged offenders accused of directly setting the synagogue on fire.

The AFP, together with Victoria Police and Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, has remained laser focused on identifying those responsible for the attack on the Jewish community and to prosecute those responsible.
