(Kathimerini) The Council of Appeals judges in Thessaloniki on Wednesday approved the extradition of a Moroccan man to his country, where he is wanted on terrorism charges.
The man, aged 28, had been sought on an international warrant issued by Moroccan authorities in 2017, who said that “he was a member of ISIS (Daesh) since June 2014.” He admitted to the Greek judicial authorities he was an ISIS member, but denied he was involved in criminal acts. He also asked that he remain in Greece so he may apply for asylum, as returning to his country would mean certain death.
During his testimony, he said he was recruited for money while studying and told he would go to paradise if he dies.
