A 29-year-old Moroccan is facing expulsion from Italy after helping police arrest a thief during a break-in in Turin. According to El Corriere della Sera, police identified the young Moroccan and discovered he was living in Italy without a residence permit. He had arrived in Turin less than a year ago via Ventimiglia, traveling through Spain and France, but had not applied for the necessary documentation. Although he had secured a trial job assembling and dismantling market stalls and was offered accommodation by a colleague, he failed to file for a residence permit, which led to an expulsion order being issued on May 7. In an interview with Repubblica, Zakaria expressed his disappointment: «I made a nice gesture, I didn't think they would punish me by sending me away», he said. «I want to stay in Italy, work, and build an honest future in Turin. My wife is still in Morocco, and I would like her to join me», he pleaded sadly.
