The Informal Anarchist Federation (FAI, from the Italian Federazione Anarchica Informale) is an insurrectionary anarchist milieu associated with decentralized violent direct action rather than a centralized command structure. It has been linked to attacks intended as propaganda of the deed against individuals and institutions viewed as symbols of state, industrial, scientific, or technological power. A notable attributed operation was the 2012 shooting and wounding of the chief executive of an Italian nuclear engineering company, reflecting a willingness to target senior corporate figures connected to contested technological and industrial sectors. The actor is best understood as a loose anarchist formation or brand used by autonomous cells rather than a conventional hierarchical organization. Based on the available facts, its activity aligns with politically motivated violent extremism rather than financially motivated crime, and its known operations emphasize targeted violence and initial attack execution over ransomware or cyber-enabled extortion.
