An Alaska man has been indicted for allegedly making hundreds of threats against six members of the Supreme Court, according to the Justice Department, including plans to assassinate the justices.

Prosecutors allege that Panos Anastasiou, 76, sent more than 450 messages beginning in March 2023 intended for six justices and two of their family members. Starting in January, the messages started to “convey threats of harm.” The indictment, which was filed Wednesday but announced Thursday, does not name the specific justices or their family members. There are six Republican-appointed justices on the nine-member bench.
