The 17-year-old was released from the Bucharest Police arrest centre and allowed to go home with his mother, after he was subjected to a psychiatric examination at the National Forensic Institute (INML).

The DIICOT prosecutors also say the 17-year-old of Craiova promoted online the radical Islamic doctrine by posting online Islamic State propaganda opinions, pictures, audio/video recordings such as beheadings, people set on fire and shootings execution of people.
