Terrorism Defence

We have established an excellent reputation here at Knightsbridge Solicitors, as one of the leading terrorism defence firms and have mounted many successful and high-profile terrorism defence cases in England and Wales.

Terrorism is the use or threat of action both inside and outside the UK designed to influence any international government organisation or intimidate the public to advance a political, racial, religious or ideological cause.

Unlike many other crimes, the prosecution does not have to show involvement in the terrorist act itself, secondary involvement, for example in funding or resourcing will suffice. The police also have extended powers of investigation.

Our criminal defence team are well-versed in UK and international anti-terrorism laws and can apply this expert understanding to your individual case as we work to get you the best possible result.

We are focused on protecting you whilst adhering police procedures and court processes, working with the unique nature of evidence in terrorism defence cases, which is often gained from covert sources.

Anti-terrorism law is a complicated and everchanging area with various acts of Parliament and numerous regulations in place to tackle terrorism. Under these rules and regulations, you can be accused of a range of offences, which include:

• Funding terrorism
• Distributing terrorist material
• Training terrorists
• Possessing material useful for terrorist
• Glorifying an act of terrorism
• Membership of a terrorist organisation
• Failing to disclose information that may be of use to authorities in preventing terrorism
• Making and possession of explosive substances
• Murder

It is important to know that if you are arrested regarding involvement in terrorism, the police can hold you for up to 14 days without charging you as part of their extended powers of investigation.
