Danish court finds pizzeria owner guilty of fighting for Islamic State
Copenhagen, June 22 (Reuters) – A Copenhagen court found a Danish pizzeria owner guilty on Wednesday of joining Islamic State (IS) to fight in Syria, the first such case in the Nordic country.
The verdict comes amid concerns of increased radicalisation among Muslims in Europe and deadly attacks claimed by Islamic State militants in Paris and Brussels.
The court found the 24-year-old defendant, who holds both Danish and Turkish passports, guilty of allowing himself to be recruited in 2013 by IS in order to commit terrorist acts in Syria.
