Celle (AP) - In the trial against the alleged Germany chief of the terrorist militia Islamic State (IS), Abu Walaa, which has been going on for more than three years, the pleadings may start today (9.15 a.m.).

The judges plan to close the taking of evidence, the higher regional court in Celle announced after the 239th day of the hearing.

First the Federal Prosecutor's Office, then the defense.

Two days are planned for the Federal Prosecutor's pleading.

The Iraqi Abu Walaa and three co-defendants are accused of radicalizing young people, especially in the Ruhr area and the Hildesheim area, Islamistically and sending them to the IS battle areas.

You have been on trial for supporting ISIS and membership in the terrorist militia since September 2017.

The criminal chamber pointed out that despite the intended end, requests for evidence could still be made.

There are also motions on which the Senate has not yet decided.

It is therefore unclear whether the closing lectures could actually begin on Tuesday.
