(Deutsche Welle) German federal prosecutors on Thursday said they had indicted four men on suspicion of supporting Islamist extremist group Jabhat al-Nusra.
One of the men is also accused of joining the group and traveling to Syria to fight with the breakaway offshoot of al-Qaida.
What exactly are the men accused of?
The German citizen Marius A. allegedly went to Syria in October 2013 and joined al-Nusra. He is understood to have remained a member until March 2014 and took part in fighting at least once.
Prosecutors said he also received funds from the group while he was in Turkey.
Marius A. was detained last September in Senegal. He was extradited to Germany in May and remains in custody.
