A Tunisian man who landed on the
Italian island of Lampedusa on October 18 has been repatriated
after Italy's intelligence services flagged him up as being a
"dangerous subject".
The man, who was repatriated on a direct flight from Palermo to
Tunis, had already been sent back once in 2017.
The interior ministry said he is the relative of a person
arrested in France in 2016 who was suspected of being the head
of an ISIS cell that was planning attacks in the country.
According to the intelligence services, both lived in Italy
between 2008 and 2015.
