Evidence shows that since 2015 the young man has travelled repeatedly to Syria and has been directly involved in armed operations by different jihadi terrorist groups. It has been established that the father of the person in question is, at this moment, leader of one of these groups. It is precisely his father who brought about his radicalization and recruited him for terrorist activities in Syria.
