The factual substrate of the indictment:
According to the Indictment, on 12 July 2013 the accused Senad Kasupović flew off from the International Airport Sarajevo for Istanbul and thus left the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina for Turkey, from where he illegally crossed the border into Syria, town of Manbij. The accused went there with the intention to fight on the side of the Islamic State organized in the territory of Syria and Iraq and terrorist groups of the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) active in the Syria and Iraq territory, which the UN Security Council has proclaimed terrorist groups and organizations. The objective of these organizations was destabilization and forcible change of the political and constitutional order in Syria, while their members intended to force the legitimate authorities in Syria to change the constitutional order and the political regime by way of launching daily armed actions, that is, attacks on the population, killings, unlawful detention, hostage-taking and other actions. The accused stayed in Syria until 19 December 2019 together with other persons from BiH who went to Syria with the same intention, so that under the name of “Muatesim“ he provided assistance to and fought on the side of ISIL within the “Beit Commando“ unit, which was later re-named into “Al-Aqsa“.
