Arrest Warrant Issued for Individual Allegedly Supporting Islamic State, a Global Terrorist Organization
The Federal Prosecutor's Office has filed charges against a Russian national named Akhmad E., on August 7, 2025, before the State Protection Senate of the Higher Regional Court in Berlin. The indictment was served in Karlsruhe, Germany.
Akhmad E., who is suspected of having committed these crimes while being a juvenile, is accused of supporting a terrorist organization abroad, attempting membership in a terrorist organization abroad, incitement to commit a serious act of violence endangering the state, preparation of a serious act of violence endangering the state, and fraud.
According to the charges, Akhmad E. had intended to join IS in Pakistan and receive military training. Shortly before his trip, he sent a video containing an oath of allegiance to a suspected IS member abroad. However, his plans for an attack on the Israeli embassy in Berlin were thwarted due to his inability to obtain the necessary components for explosives.
To finance his trip, Akhmad E. concluded mobile phone contracts for expensive smartphones, which he then sold for profit. Furthermore, he translated propaganda material for IS into Russian and Chechen.
The charges against Akhmad E. are based on the main factual background outlined in the indictment now served. The sections of the German Criminal Code (StGB) and Juvenile Justice Act (JGG) that are relevant to the charges against Akhmad E. are § 129a Abs. 1 Nr. 1, Abs. 5, § 129b Abs. 1, §§ 22, 23 StGB, § 105 JGG, § 91 Abs. 1 Nr. 2 StGB, § 89a Abs. 1, Abs. 2 Nr. 1, Abs. 2a StGB, and § 263 Abs. 1 StGB.
The Federal Prosecutor's Office took over the proceedings in June 2025 from the General Prosecutor's Office of Brandenburg. The public can direct inquiries to Dr. Ines Peterson, Prosecutor at the BGH, at the contact information provided.
It's important to note that the search results do not provide specific information about a Russian nationality suspected of supporting the Islamic State and attempting an attack in Germany as described in the evidentiary letter dated August 7, 2025, addressed to the Senate of the Landesverteidigungsanstalt at the Oberlandesgericht Berlin.
The implementation of Akhmad E.'s attack plans failed due to his inability to obtain the necessary components for explosives. The case serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to combat terrorism and protect the safety of the public.
