A woman thought to be the first Italian to join Isis in Syria was sentenced to nine years in prison in absentia on Monday.
A Milan court sentenced Maria Giulia Sergio, who now goes by the name 'Fatima', along with her husband, Albanian national Aldo Kobuzi, and three other family members.
Sergio, 29, received a nine-year sentence, according to Il Corriere, which was what the prosecutors had requested.
