(Euronews) A woman who spent nine months in Syria with her three young children in 2017 has been given an eight-year jail term.
Rajae Moujahid, a 37-year-old Italian-Moroccan citizen, was tried at a Paris tribunal for “criminal conspiracy for terrorist purposes” and “subtraction of children.”
In March 2017, just a few months after the bloody Nice attack near her hometown of Antibes, she went to Syria, taking her nine-year-old daughter and her two sons, aged seven and five.
“It was a prepared departure, which she dissimulated and considered as definitive,” the court said.
“This woman, who was already married, joined a ‘fighter’ with whom she had an online relationship. They wed when she arrived in the region of Idleb, north-west of Syria,” the court continued.
