Two former German soldiers are convicted of trying to form a terrorist group to intervene in Yemen's civil war
Two former German soldiers were convicted of trying to form a terrorist group to intervene in Yemen's civil war. The Stuttgart state court said on Monday the two men, aged 61 and 53, were given suspended sentences of 18 months and 14 months. The two men decided in April 2021 to set up a paramilitary unit of 100 to 150 people, predominantly current and former German soldiers, the court found.
The court said the defendants were influenced by "ideas coloured by Christian fundamentalism" and by a desire to make money. Although they succeeded neither in attracting a big investor nor in getting anyone to join their unit, they stuck to their plans until they were arrested a year ago, the court said. Their trial opened in June and, in August, they were released on bail after 10 months in custody.
