The Tunisian man suspected of shooting dead two Swedish football fans in Brussels arrived in Italy's Lampedusa island in 2011, an Italian government source said on Tuesday, confirming a report by the ANSA news agency. The report said the suspect spent some time in Italy, went to Sweden but is thought to have been expelled from there.
He returned to Italy where he was identified by police in Bologna in 2016 as a radicalized subject who was also monitored by intelligence services. The man then moved to Belgium.
