Overview
- Germany's Federal Court of Justice confirmed multi-year prison terms for Ibrahim M. G. and Ramin N. for planning a firearm attack near Sweden's parliament in Stockholm.
- The men received sentences of five and a half years and four years two months for membership or support of a foreign terrorist organization, conspiracy to murder, and a €200 IS donation violating foreign trade law.
- Court findings say one defendant pledged allegiance to the IS leader in August 2023, joined IS Khorasan Province, researched routes to Stockholm, and attempted to buy a pistol on the Czech black market.
- In Sweden, a 19-year-old was sentenced to seven years ten months for planning a terrorist attack on a Stockholm cultural festival, while a then-17-year-old received one year four months in a closed youth facility.
- Both Swedish defendants swore loyalty to IS, Säpo arrested the older suspect in February 2025, the pair must pay 100,000 kronor to a German victim, and authorities say the Sweden plot and the Hesse attempted murder had no direct link.
