MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the Bild magazine, Nils Donath was arrested nearly a year ago after returning to Germany from Syria. As a member of the terrorist group, Donath participated in interrogations in Syria, took part in prisoner surveillance and was a part of a special militant division.
Among other things, according to the magazine, Donath caught Daesh deserters and transferred them to Daesh militants.
State prosecutors sought a four years and nine months sentence as a preventive measure. Donath's defense asked for the sentence to be remitted, as their client ultimately distanced himself from terrorism and cooperated with the investigation.
