Zanima.meIndependentCenterFactual 85Objective 789/8/2026 He worked as a cook in Ljubljana, and in the background ISIS: four dates of birth revealed himA man who lived and worked as a chef in Slovenia under the name Rašid Aziz was recently sentenced to five years in prison by the Ljubljana district court for terrorism. Investigations revealed he was actually Aršad Khamis Hamdani Aziz, a member of the military structure of the Islamic State (ISIS), who used multiple names and four different birth dates. He first arrived in Slovenia in 2019 as an asylum seeker but came under scrutiny after inconsistencies were found in his identity during attempts to enter Germany. Authorities discovered he had previously been listed on international wanted lists under another name. While working in Ljubljana, he denied being part of ISIS. The case involved collaboration between Slovenian investigators, Interpol, the U.S. FBI, and Iraqi authorities, which helped confirm his ties to ISIS through documents obtained from Iraq. These documents showed he was known as Abu Hadžar and was part of the Dat al-Sawari unit within ISIS’s military ministry. His sentence has not yet become final.

He had previously fled to Germany twice, first in 2021 and again later, but was returned to Slovenia under the Dublin Regulation.

Slovenian authorities collaborated with European agencies like Eurojust and Interpol to gather evidence against him, including documents showing his involvement with ISIS’s military unit Dat al-Sawari. The evidence also indicated that his wife and children received stipends from terrorist groups. Despite claims by Aziz that he was tortured by Shiites, Kurds, and Hezbollah, the court convicted him based on the collected proof.
