Gareth Waite, a 47-year-old man from the Cardigan area of Ceredigion, has been sentenced to nine years and nine months following a three-week trial at Woolwich Crown Court on Wednesday the 15th of May.
Following a thorough investigation led by Counter Terrorism Policing Wales, Waite was found guilty of four offences of disseminating a terrorist publication contrary to Section 2 of the Terrorism Act 2006, and two offences of possession of material of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, contrary to Section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
He had also previously pleaded guilty to one offence of support of a proscribed organisation, namely National Action, contrary to Section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
DCI Leanne Williams, Head of Investigations at Counter Terrorism Policing Wales said: “We welcome the sentence handed down by the court today. This concludes what was a detailed, thorough, and complex investigation over many months by officers from CTP Wales, assisted by colleagues in Dyfed Powys Police.”
