Advise your brother and call him to Allah, and explain to him the seriousness of what he is doing. If he insists and you are harmed by associating with him, then abandon him. You can also intercede through someone who has influence over him to deter him. And if the only way to avert his evil is to take the matter to court, then there is no blame upon you due to necessity.
