Brahim Aouissaoui, the Notre Dame Cathedral bomber in Nice, has been in Europe for less than a month. He had come with a migrant boat through the island of Lampedusa and was quarantined, on which occasion he was photographed for documents. Later he went to France, where he carried out the attack on the Nice Cathedral.
Investigators identified the 21-year-old Tunisian Brahim Aouissaoui after discovering his documents produced by the Italian Red Cross, in which he stood out after his arrival on the island of Lampedusa on September 20 with a migrant boat. writes Le Figaro.
“He later arrived in Bari, Italy, on October 9,” said a prosecutor.
Italian authorities found him on the country’s territory and even drew up a deportation certificate, according to the Ministry of Justice. However, the Tunisian was neither detained nor arrested, writes Il Coriere. The possible cause was the lack of places in detention centers, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
What Brahim Aouissaoui did before the attack
The exact moment he arrived in France is unknown. According to his family, who live in the Tunisian town of Sfax, the young man arrived in Nice the morning of the attack or the night before and was looking for a place to sleep near the cathedral. The family recognized the images from the scene of the attack presented by the media, as they had seen them on Thursday morning, during a video call with Brahim.
“My brother was a friendly person and never showed any signs of extremism … He respected all other people and accepted the differences between them since childhood,” said his older brother, Yassin.
His family members, who are currently under investigation by the Tunisian authorities, say that Aoussaoui never confessed to them that he wanted to leave Tunisia.
A terrorist stabbing attack took place in the French city of Nice on Thursday. Three people died, one of them beheaded, after a man armed with a knife attacked them in a cathedral in the city center.
