After escaping from a Tunisian prison in 2011, when he had received more than 26 years for a double attempted murder, Abdesalem Lassoued visited the four corners of Europe. We already knew that before arriving in Belgium, he had passed through Italy, Sweden and Norway. Now, according to our Portuguese colleagues from Saturday, he would also have stopped in the town of Guarda, in Portugal.

In October 2015, during a routine check on a farm, the National Republican Guard (GNR) found that he was staying illegally (and that he was banned from entering Swedish territory until January 2016). . Following this arrest, the Portuguese immigration service requested his expulsion. But the judge who examined his administrative file was more lenient, requiring him to report to the authorities once a week. A measure that Lassoued respected… for a week, before disappearing into the wild. According to his declarations to the Immigration Office, Abdesalem Lassoued arrived in Belgium in December 2015, just following this Portuguese episode.
