(Portugal Resident) Two Iraqi brothers who managed to trick authorities into believing they were bona-fide refugees when they were in fact members of terrorist group Daesh have been sentenced to 10 and 16 years [in] jail by a court in Lisbon.
This extraordinary story broke in 2021 when it was discovered that one of the brothers had been working in a restaurant visited regularly by political figures: Yaser Ameen even appeared in “selfies” with the president of the republic (who said in his defence that he couldn’t possibly be expected to know the pasts of people he spontaneously posed with for photographs).
