The surreal scene, to say the least, took place on September 21, 2021, at Brussels South Charleroi Airport (BSCA). Refused to board a flight to Istanbul, Murtada showed his anger and climbed the barriers securing the various runways of the airport to forcefully board a plane to ask the pilot to take off to go to Istanbul. Next, Murtada had to go to his family in Iraq.
Despite the intervention of the aviation police, Murtada did not calm down. On the contrary. “At first, he followed the police officers nervously, but the situation escalated when the officers tried to handcuff him. He struggled and even punched the officers,” the file reveals.
Sentenced by default to a prison sentence, the man currently placed under arrest warrant for an Antwerp case has filed an opposition to the judgment. Murtada hopes, through this procedure, to obtain a simple reprieve. What the prosecution does not object to.
Decision on October 16.
