Terrorism Offences
We’re able to support individuals with offences under the following:
- The Terrorism Act 2000
- The Anti -Terrorism, The Crime and Security Act 2001
- The Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005
- The Terrorism Act 2006
- The Counter Terrorism Act 2008
With a solid, national reputation, we have built practical experience in the defence of terrorism from ISIS style Jihadist offending through to white supremacist cases.
We provide advice on the following terrorism issues and the list is not exhaustive:
Weapons Training: It is an offence to provide instruction or training in the making or use of chemical or biological weapons, firearms or explosives. This carries a maximum sentence of 10 years’ imprisonment.
Hoax Bomb Threats: It’s a criminal offence to make hoax bomb threats to cabin crew while on an aircraft or in the airport. This offence can also include other hoax offences. If airport staff overhear what could be a throwaway comment or joke shared with friends, you could be on the receiving end of a bomb hoax allegation. In this instance you could land in prison and be subject to a County Court Claim for thousands in the airport’s lost revenue.
