(Majorca Daily Bulletin) The National Court orders the expulsion, from the national territory for ten years, of a Moroccan citizen who formed a jihadist cell in the prison of Palma to recruit fighters for the jihad and to organise attacks in Morocco and Spain. The prisoner is a Moroccan citizen who arrived in Spain at the age of twelve and resided in Manacor. In 2019 he was serving a sentence for a crime of robbery with force and had previously been in the penitentiary centre on two other occasions.
As confirmed by two other inmates, in prison he offered significant amounts of money to people to travel to Syria to make jihad. He was looking, in collaboration with people who were at liberty, for predisposed inmates who were about to serve their sentences. They were offered about five thousand euros, military training, a comfortable economic future and a Muslim woman as a wife.
