In September 2020, a homicide rocked Morges VD. A Swiss-Turk (26) stabbed Portuguese Rodrigo G. († 29) in cold blood in a kebab shop in Morges VD. Any help came too late for G. – he died at the scene of the accident.
Now it is clear: the Swiss-Turk, who was a member of a jihadist network, has to be behind bars for 20 years. The Federal Criminal Court sentenced the self-proclaimed IS assassin to 20 years in prison on Tuesday.
The trial against the now 29-year-old Turkish-Swiss dual citizen started on December 12 last year in Bellinzona TI. The perpetrator was charged with manslaughter, murder, attempted manslaughter, aggravated assault, attempted arson and explosion, violating al-Qaeda/IS law, and other offences. (dzc/SDA)
