Munich Court Slaps PKK Official with Two-Year Prison Sentence

6:11 PM, February 28, 2025 Update from Newsticker

A 51-year-old PKK member found himself staring at two years behind bars after the Munich Higher Regional Court passed its verdict. The court deemed him guilty of belonging to a foreign terrorist organization, as per a statement by a court spokesperson post-sentencing on Friday. The defendant served as a so-called "space manager" for the PKK in Munich from 2021 till 2023.

During this time, he allegedly collected and managed donations for the PKK. The 51-year-old refuted any involvement with the PKK, but the court's decision contradicted his claim. Witnesses vouched for his cadre role within the PKK, and his mobile phone communications were scrutinized and evaluated.

The court's ruling fell slightly short of the Munich Public Prosecutor's Office demand for a two-years and two-month prison term. The defense countered with a plea for an acquittal, but the court ruled against them. An appeal can still be filed with the Federal Court of Justice.
