Said Mansour was born in Morocco and came to Denmark in 1984.
Five years later, he also received Danish citizenship.
In Denmark, Said Mansour has been convicted in two different cases for inciting terrorism and for praising Al Qaeda. In the most recent case from 2014, he received four years in prison.
Two years later, he also lost his Danish citizenship to the Supreme Court.
“Very satisfied”
In 2019, he was deported from Denmark to Morocco.
– I am very happy that with the expulsion of Said Mansour we are sending a clear signal to the outside world. Deeply criminal foreigners, who undermine our values and promote terrorism, have no place in Danish society, then-Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said at the time.
Danish terrorist Said Mansour was sentenced to death earlier this year in Morocco.
When Said Mansour landed in Morocco, he was immediately arrested as a suspect in a terrorist crime in the Moroccan city of Casablanca in 2003, when 45 people died.
Earlier this year, a trial was held in Morocco against Said Mansour and he was sentenced to death.
Upstream from the death sentence
In connection with the ruling, the Danish Ministry of Immigration and Integration announced that the Danish authorities did not expect the ruling to come true.
“Morocco has a moratorium on the non-execution of death sentences since 1993. The Danish government hopes that this moratorium will also apply in the specific case,” the Danish authorities wrote in an email to Ritzau, writes Danish TV2.
The verdict has now been overturned by a higher court in Morocco, which instead converted the sentence to 25 years in prison.
This is something that was confirmed by Said Mansour’s lawyer, Khalil Idrissi, on Thursday, Danish TV2 writes.
