Title: Terrorism Charges in Hamburg: Syrian Brothers Facing Judgment at the Higher Regional Court
In an anticipated verdict scheduled for Tuesday, a 29-year-old in Hamburg and his younger brother are set to face the music at the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court. The two men, both Syrians, are accused of plotting a radical Islamist attack on a Swedish church and financing terrorism.
The elder sibling stands accused of planning a grave act of violence threatening the state and financing terrorism. The younger brother is being charged with aiding and abetting in the financing of terrorism. Reportedly, the elder brother had allegedly contributed to the acquisition of materials for constructing an explosive belt.
Initially, the 29-year-old was apprehended in April in Hamburg's St. Georg district, and later, his younger brother was captured in the Allgäu region.
While the Public Prosecutor General's Office has demanded a six-year prison sentence for the elder brother and a two-and-a-half year sentence for the younger one, their defense lawyers have advocated for more lenient penalties.
