The Hague Court of Appeal has dismissed an appeal against a female suspect on multiple terrorism-related charges, including providing funds to two persons designated under EU sanctions against the Islamic State (“IS”) group.
The court found the defendants guilty of multiple charges, including aiding and abetting participation in the Islamic State.
Regarding the charges relating to financial transactions, the court said the defendant violated the Dutch Sanctions Act of 1977 by “providing resources (money) to two persons” when she transferred a total of 500 euros to two women believed to be members of ISIS.
The verdict states that the suspect “shared information in multiple Telegram groups” that supported the Islamic State’s media strategy. The verdict finds that by spreading this information, the suspect “deliberately supported the Islamic State’s media strategy” and thus contributed to the group’s propaganda efforts.
The court imposed a comprehensive sentence of 48 months in prison, which included pre-trial detention.
