(RTL) With defendants missing and evidence scattered across war zones, Luxembourg prosecutors will present their terrorism case Thursday against four presumed ISIS affiliates.
The Luxembourg City Court will convene a terrorism trial on Thursday against four men accused of supporting ISIS operations in Syria and Iraq.
Among the defendants is Steve Duarte, a Portuguese national raised in Luxembourg whose alleged activities have drawn particular scrutiny from international investigators.
The case involves three Luxembourg nationals and Duarte, who faces additional charges including incitement to terrorism, recruitment for a terrorist organisation, and murder. Foreign intelligence services previously identified Duarte as appearing in an ISIS execution video — an allegation he denied during a 2019 RTL interview while detained in Kurdish-controlled Syria.
