He is charged with two counts of disseminating a terrorist publication. 

Spanish police arrested Kearney at an address in Alicante on March 2, under a Trade and Co-operation  Agreement (TaCA) warrant obtained by the counter terrorism command. 

He then lost an extradition battle and was sent back to the UK on September 8 where he was then arrested by counter terrorism offices upon arrival.
