The young man of Craiova accused of ISIS propaganda was released on Wednesday evening, after the prosecutors with the Directorate for Investigating Organised Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) decided his being investigated under judicial control. 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 says the 17-year-old male sped up the stages of his Islamic radicalisation while posting online propaganda messages in an attempt to attract more ISIS supporters. "B.L.C. has been indicted and remanded for promoting a fundamentalist Islamic message by propaganda," the DIICOT prosecutors informed. The prosecutors also claim that the teenager expressed his readiness on social media to become a martyr for the Islamic State either by travelling the areas where ISIS acts to join the ISIS members in their fight, or by self-sacrifice in European countries at the behest of the Islamic State. For that purpose, he inquired into how to acquire AK weapons, grenades, bulletproof vests and studied how to make a bomb. 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.
