(European Conservative) Austrian prosecutors have filed terrorism charges against Maria G., an Austrian national who left the country as a teenager to join ISIS in Syria. The Salzburg Public Prosecutor’s Office announced on Monday that she has been charged with crimes committed by a terrorist and a criminal organisation.
Maria G. converted to Islam in 2013 and left Salzburg in 2014, aged 17, after being influenced by ISIS propaganda films. She travelled to Syria, where she married ISIS fighters and gave birth to two children. She was captured in 2019 and held in the Roj internment camp in northern Syria from September 2020.
