From the London Evening Standard

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 … into custody until his trial.
