His brother Ahmed Hanachi, who killed two cousins on October 1st at Marseille's Saint-Charles train station before being shot dead by anti-terror troops, spent several years in Aprilia, south of Rome.
“He married an Italian in Aprilia in 2008, and was registered as a resident there between March 2010 and 2017,” a city council press officer told AFP on Wednesday.
The 29-year-old petty criminal had been “arrested once for drugs and once for theft” and is believed to have left the area in 2015.
