Milan Court Seeks Immediate Trial for Kosovar Part of ISIS

Prosecutor Alberto Nobili, part of the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office, has requested an immediate trial for Bleona Tafallari, 19 years old, born in Kosovo, but living in Milan, known by the nickname "Lioness of ISIS". 

Bleona Tafallari, is accused of being part of a fundamentalist Islamic group with her husband and was ready to go to fight. She was arrested on November 17 last year in Italy for international terrorism after an investigation coordinated by prosecutor Leonardo Lesti, writes the Italian newspaper, Il Giorno. 

According to the order of the investigating judge Carlo Ottone De Marchi, the girl had embraced jihadist radicalism and was accommodated even among the minors, without hiding ambitions to go and fight in the war zones against the "western enemy". 

She was a staunch supporter of ISIS for at least three years and was with her husband (who was in Germany) part of a group called the 'Balkan Lions'. In addition, in January last year she was married to a 21-year-old Kosovar 'mujahideen' and had an affair with Vienna striker Kujtim Fejzulai, and more than 2,000 conversations that left no doubt, according to the indictment, about her membership in ISIS. 

In the question before the investigating judge and then the prosecutors, the young woman always defended herself, explaining that she had never made propaganda, that she had never thought "to become a martyr, nor to go to fight".
