Italian police on April 8 arrested a man from Tajikistan wanted for terrorism-related crimes and suspected of being an active member of the Islamic State (IS) terror group, a police statement said, according to Reuters.
The man, described as a fugitive targeted by an international arrest warrant, was reportedly stopped after landing at Rome’s Fiumicino airport from Eindhoven in the Netherlands.
He was reportedly identified only by his initials, “S.I.”.
The police statement reportedly did not say which country had issued the warrant for him. It said the suspect used several fake identities, including from Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Ukraine.
Italian authorities did not make any reference to Russia and to last month’s deadly attack on a concert hall outside Moscow, for which several Tajiks living in Russia have been arrested.
Reuters also notes that the statement said the man was born in 1992 and had enrolled in 2014 as a foreign fighter for the Islamic State (IS) terror group in Syria.
Meanwhile, ANSA.it, citing the Rome Police Department, says the 32-year-old Tajikistan national detained at Fiumicino airport was identified as Ilhom Sairahmonzoda.
According to ANSA.it, the detainee was put by Tajik authorities on the international wanted list for fighting for the IS terror group in Syria in 2014.
