A German man who shared propaganda videos that “glorified violence” by the so-called Islamic State group has been jailed for 40 months.

Florian Flegel, 23, from Ratingen, Germany, pleaded guilty to six counts of disseminating terrorist publications after officers found thousands of messages between himself and his friend Abdullah, who was living in Ratingen at the time.
