Kristen Brekke: Cardiff terrorist jailed for breaches

(BBC) A convicted terrorist has been sent back to jail after keeping secret financial accounts from authorities.

Kristen Brekke, 26, had been sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison for preparing terrorist acts in 2016.

He was released in September 2017, and made subject to a notification requirement.

Brekke admitted four breaches of that requirement and was sentenced to nine months in jail.

He will also spend a further year on extended licence.

Brekke, brought up in Grangetown, Cardiff, was one of three men jailed for helping a teenage jihadi follow in his big brother’s footsteps, and join so-called Islamic State fighters in Syria in 2014.
