Germany arrests Syrian on charges of supporting ISIS

On Tuesday, federal prosecutor in Berlin, Germany, arrested a Syrian accused of supporting the Islamic State Organization (ISIS).

The Karlsruhe authorities announced that the security authorities had arrested a Syrian who is said to have traveled to his home country in 2019 to fight for ISIS.

According to the arrest warrant, he went to Syria to join ISIS and participate in combat operations or attacks.

However, injuries he got prevented him from participating in combat, and then he was the contact person for ISIS women who wanted to flee from a Kurdish camp, the arrest warrant read.

The German authorities arrested four other men, who are suspected of supporting him, according to German outlets.

The accused is scheduled to be brought before an investigating judge at the Federal Court of Justice to issue a verdict against him.

The investigators also accuse the man of having organized money transfers to ISIS and buying three assault rifles through intermediaries in Syria.

On July 27, Duesseldorf state court in Germany sentenced German women for three years and a half in prison over charges of joining the ISIS in Syria.

In June, the German city of Frankfurt tried Syrian man accused of fighting along ISIS, and committing a war crime when he was fighting with the Free Syrian Army.
