The Como State Police conducted a forced escort to the border of a 37-year-old Bangladeshi citizen, who was found to be illegally residing in Como and believed to be an active member, in his country of origin, of an Islamic religious group designated as a terrorist. The intervention is described as the outcome of intelligence and intelligence-gathering work that has developed over time.

The information-investigative findings would have taken into account the 37-year-old’s reported membership in extremist religious groups in Bangladesh. According to the provided version, a constant review of his administrative position in Italy was also initiated until the decision to proceed with the expulsion was made.
After failing, last February, to comply with an order to leave the territory of the State, the foreigner allegedly requested asylum and established his home in the municipality of Como. In the meantime, he would also have obtained a regular employment contract.
Last week, Rome’s ordinary court ruled on the denial of international protection, rejecting the request and ruling that the individual was illegal on Italian soil.

The court also recalled contiguity with Islamic terrorist groups and adherence to values deemed contrary to peaceful coexistence.
After the decision, investigators from the Como DIGOS located the 37-year-old in an apartment in the city and handed him over to immigration specialists for deportation. The expulsion decree issued by the prefect of the province of Como, Corrado Conforto Galli, was then triggered. Como Police Chief Marco Calì executed it with a measure that ordered immediate escort to the country of origin, using the police.
