Berlin Man Fined for Sharing IS Propaganda Videos

A 23-year-old was convicted for disseminating terrorist content online, disrupting his aviation training.

  • The Berlin court fined the man €1,650 for posting three IS propaganda videos on social media.
  • The videos, shared between October 2022 and May 2023, included calls for violence and glorification of IS.
  • The defendant, a former flight school student, claimed he did not understand the content and was drawn to the music.
  • Police found additional IS videos on his computer during a search, leading to the charges.
  • The court's decision nearly matched the prosecution's request, while the defense sought acquittal.
