Aine Davis, from Hammersmith, is accused of trying to fund Islamic State terrorism
A west London-born man suspected of being part of Islamic State in Syria will face trial on terror funding charges in February next year, the Old Bailey has heard.
Aine Davis, 38, who was born in Hammersmith, is accused of orchestrating an attempt to smuggle 20,000 euros out of the UK to a contact in Turkey through his then-wife Amal El-Wahabi.
Davis is also accused of possessing a firearm for terrorist purposes between July 28, 2013 and January 16, 201, when he is said to have been pictured holding a rifle in IS-occupied Syria.
On Friday, he appeared at the Old Bailey via videolink from HMP Belmarsh, and did not have a barrister to represent him during the 20-minute hearing.
A trial was set for February 27 next year, with a plea hearing scheduled for December 23.
Mr Justice Sweeney remanded Davis, who was represented by a solicitor, into custody until his trial.
Davis was arrested at Luton Airport on August 10 when he was returned to the UK from Turkey.
He has not yet entered any pleas to two charges relating to the alleged money transfer for terrorist purposes and a count of possessing a firearm for terrorist purposes.
