However, this person, resident in neighbouring Austria, was arrested before his departure for Syria.
The OAG also accuses the defendant of producing and distributing propaganda material for the banned groups al-Qaeda and Islamic State, in particular via his own media outlet, according to a statement published on Tuesday.
