Tunisia had applied for extradition of Islamist gunman who shot dead two football fans but file got forgotten
The Islamist gunman who shot dead two Swedish football fans in Brussels last weekend had escaped from a Tunisian prison where he was serving a long sentence, which prompted Tunisian officials to seek his extradition from Belgium, prosecutors have said.
Belgian authorities received the extradition request in August 2022 but it was not dealt with.
