Samir B., 30, worked as a tyre fitter at Volkswagen's plant in Wolfsburg, 55miles east of Hanover, and was fired in 2016 after threatening co-workers and pledging to join ISIS in Syria.


In December 2014, Samir B., who is of German-Algerian descent, was stopped at Hanover Airport before boarding a flight to Istanbul, Turkey, carrying 9,350 euros in cash (£8,293) and a drone.


Samir B, who had worked for Volkswagen for eight years before his 2016 dismissal, had reportedly threatened colleagues that they would 'all die'.

Volkswagen's lawyers said was proven that Samir B. 'was involved in the recruitment and support of Islamic fighters from Wolfsburg', and that the company had no alternative but to terminate his employment.


The judge said VW had not been able to state that the 'operational peace' of the plant had been 'specifically disturbed.'
