Muhammad Yassin Amrani, who was accused of receiving instructions from the ISIS terrorist organization to attack the Camp Nou with a drone during a football match between Barcelona and Real Madrid in 2020, received a three-year prison sentence today (Monday), after reaching a plea agreement with the local prosecutor's office.
In his indictment, the prosecution requested that he be sentenced to nine years for the offense of active participation in a terrorist organization, and if such extremism cannot be proven, requested three years and six months of actual imprisonment for the crime of self-training and self-indoctrination.
For the prosecutor's office, the defendant went from posting content on social networks that included the dissemination of ISIS propaganda to his adherence to the terrorist organization's assumptions and his full integration into it. ".
It also emerged that the attack included, according to the prosecutor's office, the use of a drone with an explosive device that was supposed to be raised above the Camp Nou football stadium during the El Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid, and explode as soon as the game started, however, before carrying out this action, the recruiter asked him to "lower the tone of the demonstrations His publicity on Facebook so as not to attract the attention of the police services."
After deleting his Facebook profile, Amrani began "a period of assimilating the knowledge of the doctrine" of the terrorist organization and in turn was contacted "by people from the aforementioned organization to train him technically in handling drones."
Despite the aforementioned attack, the legal advisor believes that "the most likely criminal project" in relation to the defendant's personal circumstances was that he "went out into the street armed with a knife" and attacked the people he encountered.
To this end, "the accused was influenced by publications of media organizations connected to ISIS, and which called for terrorist attacks during the health crisis situation resulting from the global spread of the Corona virus."
The Civil Guard, which is responsible for the investigation that led to Amrani's arrest, believed that his external actions testify "not only to his goal of preparing himself to carry out attacks, but also to the completeness and culmination of the process, to the point of presenting himself as a person who is ready in every way to contribute to the achievement of ISIS' goals." .
