Serious shortcomings have been revealed in the work of European law-enforcement authorities following Brussels terrorist attacks, German newspaper Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten (DWN) wrote.
One of the suicide bombers responsible for the recent terrorist attacks in Brussels Airport, Ibrahim El Bakraoui, was reportedly expelled by Turkey to the Netherlands on July 14, 2015.
“The Turkish authorities had put him into a plane en route from Istanbul to Amsterdam together with an unnamed German,” the newspaper wrote, citing the words of Dutch Minister of Justice Ard van der Steur.
The Dutch authorities said they had not been aware of Bakraoui’s expulsion, although the Turkish authorities claimed they informed the Dutch Embassy in Ankara via email. The email was allegedly classified as “very urgent” and is unlikely to have contained any relevant data on the issue, the article said.
According to the newspaper, El Bakraoui had not been registered in any databases of the Dutch or international investigators and thus law-enforcement authorities had no reason to arrest him.
What is however known is that El Bakraoui was sentenced in Belgium in 2010 to a long prison term and was freed on parole. Should he have served his sentence in a full amount, he would still be in prison and the Brussels attacks might not have happened.
