The Luxembourg City Court on Monday the Lusodescendent Steve Duarte has condemned the life imprisonment for involvement in terrorist activities at the service of the Islamic State Group (IS), according to local press.

The newspaper Contact says that Steve Duarte, born in Luxembourg and whose parents are natural from Figueira da Foz, lived in Brito-Ducado until 2014, before joining IS.

The Public Prosecution Service accused Duarte of being a central figure in the media propaganda of the IS and having participated in executions, being considered at least responsible for the death of five Iraqi Kurds.
