Federal police in Argentina have seized more than 200 Nazi publications and book covers after arresting the owner of a clandestine printing press run out of a home on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, authorities confirmed Wednesday.

After a two-year investigation, police raided a home in San Isidro, where they found publications bearing swastikas and markings of the SS paramilitary group which played a key role in enforcing Nazi German leader Adolf Hitler's ideologies.

Another address in Beccar was also raided. Police said a 40-year-old man had been taken into custody.

“We’re astonished with the amount of material, it’s historic. It’s a real printing press disseminating and selling Nazi symbology, books and indoctrination,” Federal Police Chief Juan Carlos Hernández, said at a press conference.

He said the "high-quality material" had been openly sold on e-commerce websites "with a high level of purchases and inquiries."
