And the German judiciary suspects ADF of being extremist so I don't think your nothing to do with nazism claim may actually be correct. I take it you think Meloni's party has absolutely nothing at all whatsoever to do with fascism?
I said in many countries Nazi parties are illegal.
Many countries have rules in the books allowing parties to be closed by law in exceptional cases that have to be motivated and so on (details vary between countries), and most of the legal definitions include what we would call a Nazi party (a party that among his policies has the jailing of all political opponents, the suspension of democracy, the banning of all other parties and the extermination of all Jews, gipsies, and so on).
Italy does, germany does, Spain does.
In practicality , given actual neo Nazi parties basically don't exist, they didn't have to ban any afaik, but they banned other evil parties predicated on mass scale unconstitutional violations of basic rights.
As for ADF, it is certainly extremist definitionally (it represents policy preferences that are far from the German center currently), but what has that to do with being unconstitutional? Which ADF policy proposals, or actions where it governs, or parts of it's manifesto, are mass violations of constitutional rights?
