The Montreal police have obtained a warrant to arrest Gabriel Sohier Chaput, an alleged neo-Nazi who was the subject of a series of investigative articles published by the Montreal Gazette earlier this year.

According to court records, a warrant for 32-year-old Sohier Chaput’s arrest was issued through the Montreal courthouse on Oct. 30. The mysterious man’s whereabouts appear to be unknown as his address is listed as “unknown” on the warrant. It lists only one count that falls under a section of the Criminal Code covering the willful promotion of hatred. A conviction under the charge carries a maximum two-year prison sentence. The warrant was issued based on an investigation by the Montreal police.
