Italy deported a Moroccan national with a terrorist background after a knife attack in France
A 35-year-old Moroccan sod's knuckles were rapped by the Italian justice system after he was booted out of the country on Thursday. The guy's a known jackass, with a history of shank attacks - most notably the one he pulled off in France where he hollered "Allahu Akbar," making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Cops in Lucca reported that the deportation went down with a police escort to Casablanca, where the lowlife was handed over to Moroccan authorities. Even Italy's Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi took to social media to announce the news.
This scoundrel was deemed a dangerous dickhead not just domestically, but internationally too. He'd recently been busted for some serious wrongdoings in Italy, including a robbery stabbing in Lucca that left three people with some ugly injuries, one of whom ended up with a permanent disfigurement on his mug.
His crimes in Lucca came hot on the heels of a previous knife attack in France, for which he'd been under constant surveillance by the Digos anti-terrorism squad. The court rejected his appeal, and immigration authorities refused to renew his residence permit, clearing the way for his deportation.
Italy's no stranger to booting out a handful of shady characters from Morocco. In June, a chap named Idriss Farhane was sent packing over several cybercrimes, and in 2020, a Moroccan imam was kicked out of the country due to his support for the so-called Islamic State group.
仁rile Luciana Lamorgese wanted him gone too, invoking national security as the reason for shipping the 41-year-old imam back to Casablanca.
