💨 Abstract

A suspected arsonist, Giovanni Laulu, 21, was arrested and charged in Melbourne for the destruction of the Adass Israel Synagogue. Arrested seven months after the attack, he is accused of setting the fire along with two masked accomplices. One worshipper was injured. Police suspect more involvement from overseas and are seeking additional arrests. The crime sparked a widespread investigation involving multiple agencies due to its suspected political motivation amid a wave of antisemitic incidents in Australia.
