Nova24TVParty-alignedCenterFactual 85Objective 6510 days agoA 43-year-old Iraqi migrant named Aziz Rašid is currently in custody in Ljubljana, facing charges of terrorism and membership in the Islamic State. He has been detained since March 2024 based on evidence provided by the FBI, which alleges he was a member of the Islamic State. Despite this, Rašid has not yet been convicted and remains in pre-trial detention. The trial, which began over a year ago, is expected to conclude by August 2026, meaning Rašid could be released into the community by then. He denies all accusations, citing lack of contact with weapons and claims he was never a terrorist. His legal team argues that his potential release could lead to him fleeing again, as he has already escaped twice before. The case relies heavily on forensic analysis of photographs and documents linked to the Islamic State, including a match between Rašid and a known militant. The prosecution also cites U.S. intelligence reports from 2019, where Rašid was identified in photos alongside other militants. However, Rašid maintains he was never part of any armed group and fears extradition to Iraq, where he could face the death penalty.

He was arrested in March 2024 based on an Interpol warrant. The trial at the Ljubljana District Court has been ongoing, but due to the two-year limit on pretrial detention, Aziz will now appear before the court freely. Prosecutors allege he participated in terrorist attacks in Iraq in 2016 as a member of ISIS by placing bombs in vehicles and buildings. The case is being handled by Judge Maja Povhe, reportedly a friend of former court president Marjan Pogačnik. According to sources, the Slovenian court received evidence from the FBI but failed to act. Aziz had previously fled to Germany twice (in 2019 and 2021) seeking international protection, which was denied, and returned to Slovenia where he continued working as a chef in Ljubljana.
