We explore the connection between Dark Matter and neutrinos in a model
inspired by radiative Type-II seessaw and scotogenic scenarios. In our model,
we introduce new electroweakly charged states (scalars and a vector-like
fermion) and impose a discrete $mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. Neutrino masses are
generated at the loop level and the lightest $mathbb{Z}_2$-odd neutral
particle is stable and it can play the role of a Dark Matter candidate. We
perform a numerical analysis of the model showing that neutrino masses and
flavour structure can be reproduced in addition to the correct dark matter
density, with viable DM masses from 700 GeV to 30 TeV. We explore direct and
indirect detection signatures and show interesting detection prospects by CTA,
Darwin and KM3Net and highlight the complementarity between these observables.
