A Moroccan national was expelled from Italy on Tuesday, November 7, for inciting the internal security of the state, reports on Thursday Secolo d’Italia. His deportation order was signed by the Italian Interior Minister, Marco Minniti.

The suspect is a «40-year-old Moroccan national living in Pavia», a town and commune of south-western Lombardy, northern Italy, according to the Interior Minister. He was reported in 2015 after «working to obtain a large sum of money for a Moroccan-Belgian fighter in the Syrian-Iraqi region, helping him to join the militias of the self-proclaimed ‘Islamic State'»said the ministry.

The investigations conducted by The General Investigations and Special Operations Division (DIGOS) and the Italian Financial Police failed to demonstrate the intention of the Moroccan to financially support the terrorist group. His activity, however, highlighted the close ties he maintained with the Islamist movement in Belgium, where he had lived in recent years.

The forty-year-old was repatriated to Morocco on Tuesday on a flight to Casablanca.
