Younes Dahhaki

Younes Dahhaki, a Moroccan citizen born in 1983, was the last member of the cell composed by him, M’hamed Garouan and Brahim Garouan. His last known place of residence was Lamezia Terme.
As the latter two, he was also arrested in January 2011 in connection to the radical activities of the Garouans. The father and the son would in fact retrieve plenty of jihadist material from the internet. Weapons and bomb manuals, cyber weapons, videos of terrorist attacks and executions. All this material would be used both to train themselves but also as propaganda to showcase at M’hamed’s mosque.
In one intercepted conversation, Younes expressed the desire to die as a martyr.

In July 2011 the Supreme Court requested annulled the preventive custody on the basis that they were not planning a terrorist attack, and could not, therefore, be charged with the crime of training for terrorist purposes. Therefore, the criminal case against them was dismissed.
Following the release his friend Brahim would first return to Morocco with his father and then go to Syria to fight against Assad, where he would perish in 2014.
Always in 2014, an Italian court ruled that the Italian state owed the three men roughly 60 000 euros for “wrongful detention”, the 8 months they spent in prison in 2011.
