The foreigner was monitored for a while, and the SRI officers considered his activities suspicious, they confessed, for Mediafax, sources from the secret services.
“The foreign citizen ZMFI represents a real, current and sufficient threat to the values of the Romanian society, respectively the right to life and the bodily integrity of the people, as his actions are likely to endanger national security” “specifies the report that the SRI submitted to the General Inspectorate for Immigration.
The report was also sent to the prosecutors of the Prosecutor's Office attached to the Bucharest Court of Appeal.
SRI has asked that the Arab citizen should be declared undesirable on the territory of Romania and to be expelled as soon as possible.
The foreigner's lawyer challenges the measure and says that “The so-called intention must be proved” And that the General Inspectorate for Immigration would not have enough evidence to lead to its client's expulsion, say Mediafax sources.
We remind that, in 2021, the Bucharest Court of Appeal ordered the declaration as undesirable persons for Romania of two stateless citizens, for a period of 10 years, at the notification of the Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI).
In 2015, two Tunisian students, followers of the Islamic State, who were trying to recruit followers from Romania, were kept under military guard before being expelled from Romania. The decision was taken by the magistrates of the Court of Appeal at the request of the SRI as “as a result of the specific measures taken by the SRI”.
