An Albanian citizen has been arrested by the Italian police of Lecce, on the charge of propaganda of Islamic radicalism and the use of technology instruments.

The Italian media informs that it is about the 49-year-old Albanian with the initials AH, a resident of Galatina, who is currently under house arrest.

The investigative activity started in 2018 after a report from the intelligence sector that made it possible to reconstruct the path taken by the Albanian towards radicalization, who, over the years, had achieved a deep adherence to Islamic extremist ideologies, which shows a radical change in the way of life.

According to the investigators, the technical activities revealed, among other things, that the Albanian had developed a deep distaste for Italian laws and the Western lifestyle and that he would be dedicated to spreading numerous jihadist propaganda content on the Internet, including photos, which portrayed him with the banner of ISIS and at the same time he would have maintained relations with relevant elements of international terrorism already shown in the sectoral investigations carried out abroad.

During the operation, computer materials were seized, on which further investigations continue.
