A Daesh terrorist who featured heavily in recruiting propaganda will be charged with terror offences after being extradited to Australia from Turkey.
The federal police said on Friday that Neil Christopher Prakash, 31, was arrested in Turkey in 2016 after crossing into the country from Syria.
Prakash was sentenced in 2019 to seven years imprisonment by a Turkish court, which found him guilty of belonging to a terrorist organization.
Australian Federal Police (AFP) added that Prakash arrived in Australia by plane on Friday morning.
It added that an investigation started in 2016 when the man was alleged to have travelled to Syria to fight with the Daesh terrorist group.
Former Australian Attorney-General George Brandis in 2016 said Prakash had been killed in Iraq following a targeted United States air strike.
It was later confirmed that he was wounded but not killed in the blast.
