The sister of a man convicted of handing money to Brussels bombing suspect Mohamed Abrini has walked free from court.

Soumaya Boufassil appeared at Kingston Crown Court, London, charged with engaging in conduct in preparation for acts of terrorism, on the same indictment as her brother Zakaria Boufassil and Mohammed Ali Ahmed.

Prosecuting Max Hill QC said: "The first defendant Mohammed Ahmed pleaded guilty in November 8 and Zakaria Boufassil was convicted yesterday."

He added: "(There is) only one appropriate course having reviewed all the evidence, we do not propose to go to trial and offer no evidence against her."

It was alleged she researched and discussed life as a member of Daesh, also known as Islamic State, and along with Ahmed researched and planned secure methods by which to travel undetected overseas, and accrued cash funds to finance their travel.

Justice Jeremy Baker said: "As far as Soumaya Boufassil is concerned on the prosecution offering no evidence against her, I order that on the singular indictment that she faces that a verdict of not guilty be entered.

"As far as you are concerned Soumaya Boufassil, you are now released from custody."
