Italy deports Moroccan national suspected of promoting terrorism

Italian authorities expelled a Moroccan national sentenced to one year and eight months for spreading ISIS propaganda in Italy in April.

Italian news outlet La Repubblica reported that Italian police arrested the 20-year old Moroccan national in 2018 in Fossani, in the Cuneo province.

The sentence was suspended when the young man was expelled in April, added the news outlet.

In line with security cooperation against cross-border crime and terrorism, Morocco has arrested several international suspects involved in different criminal acts.

In April, Morocco extradited a Russian ISIS suspect.The suspect was arrested when he decided to settle in Casablanca in 2018 after ISIS lost significant portions of its territory in Syria in 2016.

Morocco also arrested a number of suspects under international arrest warrants, including an Algerian suspect who is the subject of an official request for extradition from the Algerian judicial services for his alleged involvement in a criminal network active in international drug trafficking.
