One of them purchased relevant materials and tried to make an bomb, while the other tried to supply him with the needed substances and tools, according to prosecutors. They also tried to recruit accomplices.

They have been convicted of aggravated preparation to commit a terror attack, attempted use of weapons for terror purposes, conspiring to commit an act of terror, conspiring to use weapons as an act of terror, providing guidance or training for terror acts, and membership in a terror group.
