(Brussels Times) The Liège Criminal Court on Wednesday sentenced a 35-year-old man from Verviers to a suspended sentence of three years’ imprisonment for the remainder of his pre-trial detention and a suspended fine of €4,000 for half.
The man was found guilty of participating in the activities of a terrorist organisation and disseminating terrorist propaganda.
The Federal Judicial Police had been informed in July 2022 by the Spanish police of the appearance of the defendant’s name in an investigation carried out on Spanish territory. This investigation concerned a 16-year-old girl who had become radicalised on social networks and had received propaganda material from the Verviers man with links to the so-called Islamic State.
