(ANSA) Police in Turin on Tuesday arrested Halili Elmahdi, a 29-year-old suspected of being the main author of Italian-language ISIS propaganda, sources said.
The Moroccan national, who allegedly carried out radicalisation and proselytising activities on the internet, faces charges of terrorism association.
It is the third time he has been arrested.
He also ended up in handcuffs in 2015 and in 2018, when he lived in Lanzo, near Turin, again over terrorism charges and links with the Daesh.
He had obtained Italian citizenship but was stripped of this after being convicted.
