(ANSA) A 28-year-old Tunisian named Nairi Nasir who was living illegally in Italy was charged with apologism and instigation to commit a crime aimed at terrorism and repatriated to Tunisia.
The expulsion came following a detailed investigation by Italian police and Carabinieri that revealed the man had confided to other Tunisians on numerous occasions that he wanted to carry out attacks in Italy in the name of jihad, also instigating other foreigners to carry out acts of terrorism.
The investigation began last October when, at the end of a religious function at a mosque in Turin, Nasir approached the imam and praised the terrorist act of the attacker in Paris who decapitated professor Samuel Paty, and criticised the preacher for having stigmatised the criminal act.
