A Briton suspected of being one of ISIS’ gang of UK terrorists known as The Beatles was today charged with terror offences after being arrested after getting off a flight from Turkey at Luton Airport last night.
Aine Leslie Davis, 38, also known as Aine Leslie Rodrigues and Hamza Davis, has been charged with offences contrary to sections 15, 17 and 57 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
The first two charges relate to fundraising for the purposes of terrorism and the final charge relates to possession of a firearm for terrorist purposes.
London-born Davis has been remanded in police custody and is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court later this morning.
Last night officers from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command arrested a 38-year-old man at Luton Airport after he arrived into the UK on a flight from Turkey.
He was taken to a south London police station, and subsequently charged with the above offences.

A spokesman for the CPS Special Crime and Counter Terrorism Division said: ‘The CPS authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Aine Leslie Junior Davis for terrorism offences in 2014, and after being deported to England by Turkish authorities he has been arrested at Luton airport following his return to the UK.
‘Mr Davis, 38, has been charged with terrorism offences and possession of a firearm for a purpose connected with terrorism.
‘The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against Mr Davis are active and that he has the right to a fair trial.’
