Sentencing of Felix Winter - Police Scotland statement

Felix Winter (18) has been sentenced to six years in prison for Terrorism offences, at the Hight Court in Glasgow today, Wednesday, 30 July 2025.

Assistant Chief Constable Stuart Houston said:

“This was an extremely complex and fast-moving investigation, and I want to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the diligence and hard work of the officers who worked tirelessly to gather the evidence and bring the perpetrator to justice.

“The inquiry also underlines the advantages of working closely in partnership as part of the Prevent programme, which promotes early intervention through tailored, diversionary support to individuals who may be susceptible to supporting or committing terrorism to help keep our communities safe.”

Police Scotland support those who wish to become police officers, special constables or police staff by hosting various online and in-person recruitment events throughout the year.
