Renáta D. is scheduled to appear before the appeals court on Wednesday (May 6) in the case of endangering the moral education of young people. This follows from the schedule of hearings of the Supreme Court (NS) of the Slovak Republic. Renata D. was charged with particularly serious crimes of founding, organizing and supporting a terrorist group, wartime injustice and the crime of endangering the moral education of youth. In December 2023, the Specialized Criminal Court (ŠTS) found her guilty of endangering the moral education of youth and imposed a two-year prison sentence suspended for three years.
The prosecutor appealed the ŠTS verdict on the spot. He did not agree with the statement about the legal qualification, as well as with the imposed sentence. At that time, Renáta D. kept a deadline for comment. According to the indictment, Renáta D. and her husband were supposed to raise both children in the spirit of the ideology of radical Islam after she reached the territory of Syria at the turn of 2014 and 2015, where her husband – a doctor – was supposed to be part of the terrorist organization Islamic State (ISIS).
She and her children were brought to Slovakia from Iraq in February 2023 by a special government repatriation flight. She was immediately arrested and taken into custody. She claimed that she was innocent and that the accusation was unfounded.
