Overview
- The court found the 28-year-old had downloaded bomb-making instructions and scraped match heads to obtain potassium chlorate.
- Investigators seized nine bottles of fuel gel, a butterfly knife, and a baton from his apartment in Kolitzheim near Schweinfurt.
- He was convicted of terrorism financing and of providing instructions for a serious state-endangering violent act, while judges ruled the stricter preparation offense was not met.
- The defendant largely admitted the allegations, said he had no concrete attack plan, and cited online contacts with women who admired IS as his motivation.
- The verdict is not yet final, and both the defense and Munich prosecutors can seek review at the Federal Court of Justice within a week.
