The 37-year-old was identified during investigations into last December's attack on a Berlin Christmas market, carried out by Tunisian Anis Amri, who had previously spent four years in Italy. He was also part of a radical group based at the local mosque and opposed to its moderate imam, the Interior Minister said in a note. The expulsion is the 153rd which has been carried out for national security reasons since January 2015.
