Former Justice Minister Calls for Stricter Monitoring of Released Radicalized Inmates

Some members of Daesh, convicted of terrorism, are back on the streets of France. The Frenchman Flavien Moreau, convicted of Islamic terrorism, was released from prison on Monday, February 13, after seven years of incarceration. A release that increases the fear of the French who do not understand in the name of which turnaround this could have happened.

"This example reveals a reality that is not new. Do you think that in previous years, radicalized people and imprisoned for that have not been released? In nature, we have people who have been released without any surveillance measures. When you have served your sentence, we cannot impose obligations on you," reacted Rachida Dati on Tuesday on Europe 1.

For her, even if these people fall back under the surveillance of the S-Files, this is not enough. It would be necessary to "extend the security detention for jihadists, for people convicted of radicalization, for acts of terrorism and also for those who return from these war zones," hammered the former Keeper of the Seals.

Flavien Moreau, whose recent release has brought Rachida Dati out of her silence, is an emblematic case of French jihadism. At 33, he has a long criminal record behind him. Converted to Islam and radicalized in prison after a career as a common law delinquent, he left for Syria in 2012, before being arrested in 2013 and sentenced in 2014 to seven years in prison for "criminal conspiracy in connection with a terrorist enterprise".
