A convicted terrorist offender has been sentenced to a maximum of two years and three months jail by the New South Wales District Court today (8 April 2022) for breaching a Federal Court of Australia Control Order.
The 26-year-old Sydney man pleaded guilty to the offence in December 2021 after he was charged by officers from the AFP High Risk Terrorist Offenders (HRTO) team in January 2021.
The Control Order, which was applied for by the AFP and granted by the Federal Court, outlines conditions imposed on the man when he was released from custody in January 2021. He had served 18 months’ jail for associating with a terrorist organisation.
Just over two weeks after his release from prison, the AFP HRTO team arrested and charged the man with contravening conditions of the Control Order.
