Terrorism charges have been dropped against a Queensland Islamic bookstore owner after he pleaded guilty to less serious offences.
Omar Succarieh, 33, has been in custody since he was arrested in a series of counter-terrorism raids in Brisbane and Logan in September 2014.
A week out from his trial in the Brisbane Supreme Court, Succarieh admitted to secretly sending cash to his brother Abraham Succarieh in Syria as well as arranging for an alleged associate to join the fighting.
He pleaded guilty to four foreign incursions charges on Monday after the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions dropped more serious terrorism-related charges against him.
Defence lawyer Andrew Anderson said Succarieh was relieved the terrorism-related charges had been withdrawn and was looking forward to the matter coming to a conclusion.
Succarieh is believed to be the brother of Australian suicide bomber Ahmed Succarieh, who blew himself up in Syria in September 2013.
Hundreds of hours of covertly recorded conversations allegedly captured Succarieh professing his love for Syrian terror group Jabhat al-Nusra and his contempt for Australian society.
The father of three also allegedly told his wife the day before his home was raided on September 10 that he had to leave Australia before he was arrested.
He will be sentenced on November 1.
