Sydney man Hamdi Alqudsi has been sentenced to at least six years behind bars for sending seven men to fight in Syria.
Alqudsi was charged under the Foreign Incursions Act in 2013 and pleaded guilty to assisting the men to reach Syria so they could participate in armed conflict.
The travel arrangements were made between June and October 2013.
During Alqudsi’s NSW Supreme Court trial, the court was told how he organised flights and travel routes for the men, and advised them how to keep a low profile.
Justice Christine Adamson today said the most significant role Alqudsi played was connecting the men with Australian ISIS member Mohammad Ali Baryalei.
Justice Adamson said Alqudsi was “at the centre of a wheel, and the men and Mr Baryalei was the spokes”.
During the trial, a large volume of intercepted calls was played, in which Alqudsi could be heard talking to the men about flights, travel routes and the honours of martyrdom.
Two of the men Alqudsi assisted, Tyler Casey and Caner Temel, were killed in Syria.
