ATHENS: Pakistani Who Killed Nicoletta Had 4 Different Identities And Rejected Asylum Application! – GreekCityTimes.com

The identity of the young Pakistani who killed 17-year-old Nicoletta in western Athens is even more complicated, as new evidence that has come to light shows that he was traveling not with two different identities, but with four!

More disturbingly though, it was revealed he has an asylum application rejected, prompting questions why he was allowed to remain in the country.

A request for asylum which was rejected was filed in July 2021 by the young Pakistani accused of murdering 17-year-old Nicoletta in Peristeri.

According to the Ministry of Immigration and Asylum, he had filed an Asylum request once, last July, which was rejected within 15 days, while he then filed a late appeal.

As the Ministry of Immigration and Asylum notes in its informal briefing, in the files of the Asylum Service, the man in question appears with a unique file and is in possession of an asylum seeker identity card.

According to MEGA, the killer of the teenager was in possession of four identities with variations in both his own and his parents names, as well as the date of birth, making it impossible to determine his real age so far.

Specifically, in the first identity card, he was declared as Munasif Ashan, with a date of birth of 23/7/2001.

In the second ID, his details are different and he appears with the name Hasan Hasan and date of birth 1/1/1999.

On the third ID he has the name Munasif Ashan again, but with a date of birth of 1/1/2001.

On the fourth identity card the young Pakistani again has the first name Munasif Ashan and date of birth 1/1/2001, but only changes the maiden name to Shamin Akhtar.

It is recalled that the young man received a new deadline to testify on Tuesday, August 9, before the investigator for the heinous crime that occurred last week inside the apartment where he lived with his teenage girlfriend, her mother and her sister.

The lawyer of the father of the 17-year-old from Peristeri, Andreas Theodoropoulos, speaking to ERT about the Pakistani who is accused of her murder, said that he is an illegal immigrant, whose brother himself considers him a delinquent and has testified before the authorities that he did do illegal activities, like cigarette smuggling and other illegal activities.

His abusive behavior against the 17-year-old is proven even before the act of intentional homicide, with evidence of violence against her. But this man had nothing to kill for, he had no inhibitions. This bipedal anthropomorphic monster had no moral inhibitions to stop him from doing evil, he added.

Unfortunately, the 17-year-old fell into his hands without knowing and without being able to resist. She fought for 7-8 minutes for her life but finally she couldnt be saved, he said of Nicoletta.

When asked if the 17-year-olds family knew about his illegal acts, the lawyer replied that there was no substantial knowledge, but her parents advised her to break up with him because he had shown signs that he was not right in his behaviour towards the 17-year-old.

She wanted to break up with him, she was trying, but he wouldnt let her, he said and estimated that he had organised the crime, as he entered the house when the parents were away, took his clothes and left with the help of his compatriots to go to Kilkis.

All this planning shows that the crime was premeditated, he concluded.

According to the forensic findings, Nicolettas death came from suffocation as the perpetrator closed her nose and mouth. The victim appears to have fought hard for her life before she died, with the suffocation taking four to five minutes.

They believe she fought hard to survive.

Judicial authorities believe that he acted methodically, coldly and organised. His actions after the act do not indicate agitation, dejection or remorse for the heinous murder of the teenage girl.

The accused, according to the Hellenic Police, on the afternoon of the murder, did not waste a single minute and immediately hurried to disappear and attempt to leave Greece as quickly as possible.

According to Proto Thema, the accused allegedly told the police officers, who arrested him at the border with North Macedonia as it seems he was trying to reach Central Europe with illegal immigrants, that he killed Nicoletta after a fight they had.

The authorities tracked down the Pakistani, who fled the country with his own mobile phone and the victims.

Specifically, the digital print from his own cell phone showed that he moved towards Northern Greece, while police had information that the young man was going to try to leave the country this is why an international arrest warrant was issued.

Having now switched off his own mobile phone when he crossed into North Macedonia, the 22-year-old opened the victims smartphone which did not have a sim card. However, the authorities managed to locate the signal through specific mobile applications that had access to the location of the device.

North Macedonian authorities apprehended the murderer and handed him over to their Greek counterparts.

Another detail about tragedy was revealed by the victims mother, particularly about the dozens of threatening messages the teenager received that police allegedly found on her mobile phone.

As the 17-year-olds mother pointed out, Nicoletta was receiving threats from her Pakistani partner and revealed that a few days ago she asked to break up with him, thus giving a potential reason why he allegedly killed her.

Speaking to theAlphanews bulletin, Nicolettas mother stated that They werent fighting. She was fine, but lately she wanted to break up. She didnt want it any more.

Continuing, she does not hide her anger, stressing: He killed my child and took my soul. I only ask for justice.

Regarding the time of the murder, she revealed: I was at work, we were working together. I called her on the phone and she didnt pick up. She wasnt answering.

I sent the guys from the store to see why she didnt come to work and why she wasnt answering. We could not enter the house because Nicoletta had the keys. At noon, before I left for work, I saw her. She was sleeping.

I left at 4 oclock in the afternoon. After 5 oclock everything happened.

Dozens of threatening messages

It seems that the 17-year-old had received dozens of threatening messages on her mobile phone from her 22-year-old partner, who was initially and falsely reported as being 30-years-old. The 22-year-old is considered the main suspect.

According to a report, these threatening messages emerged from the first retrieval of the 17-year-olds mobile phone data by the officers of the Department of Prosecution of Crimes Against Life.

What follows is the most detailed exploration of the electronic evidence by the officers of the Criminal Investigation Department.

According to the report, these messages were sent a few days before her murder and after the girl told the Pakistani that she wanted to break up and asked for the keys of her house be returned.

The 22-year-old, whose traces are still being sought by police, seems to have become particularly aggressive and sent threats, refusing to break up.

It was previously reported that for a time the Pakistani man was living with Nicoletta, her sister and her mother, and for this reason he was given a key to the apartment.

Evidence from the forensic report showed a criminal act with death by suffocation. In addition to his two hands, the Pakistani also used a cloth to suffocate her.

The Pakistani was born on July 23, 2001, he has a height of 1.68 and his first name is Ahsan, initially reported as Sani/Sunni.

Nicoletta was raped at the age of 11

The 17-year-olds father is inconsolable, while the revelations about what happened a few years ago to the young girl and her brother are shocking.

I sit and look at pictures and I keep crying. A month ago we were having a good time, I had her in my arms, he first said when speaking to ANT1. My child cant be brought back by anyone.

He then revealed that the 17-year-old and his older son, when they were 11 and 8 years old respectively, in Makrohori where they grew up, were victims of systematic sexual abuse by three men, an 82-year-old now deceased paedophile and two Albanians, one who was dating Nicolettas mother.

The two Albanians were sentenced to many years in prison, but one remains a fugitive, believed to be in Germany.

Leading to the murder

During the ten months that the unfortunate girl maintained a bond with the young man, the fights between the couple were frequent and intense. This seems to have been the reason for the 17-year-olds decision to end her relationship with the now wanted man.

The authorities in their attempt to locate him will look for the last trace of his mobile phone in the hope of being able to establish his escape route.

According to the forensic investigation, Nicolettas time of death is estimated at 6:00 p.m. on Monday , with the police being informed by her relatives at approximately 11:00 p.m. that same day.

During these five hours, the young man managed to take advantage and disappear, and despite police manhunt, he has not been located.

Lament at the last goodbye

Holding white flowers in their hands, the family and friends of the 17-year-old accompanied the minor girl to her resting place on Thursday.

In Veroia, where she grew up but left for Athens for a better life following her sexual abuse, the funeral service was held for Nicoletta who was tragically killed on Monday.

The 17-year-old fought her killer Her nose and mouth were closed

The medical examiner, Georgios Dilernia, who performed the autopsy on the body of the unfortunate girl found that she had small abrasions on the left lateral nasal surface, on the left rhombus, on the left upper perioral area.

This shows that the perpetrator must have put his hand on the victims face and pressed his fingers and nails on her mouth and nose in order to take her life.

The bruises found on her right hand, probably from his fingers, reveal that the girl resisted and fought her killer until the last moment of her life.

Demands for the death penalty

The father of 17-year-old Nicoletta, who was found dead in her house in the western Athens neighbourhood of Peristeri, is asking for an exemplary punishment of the murderer of his daughter, believed to be a 22-year-old Pakistani the death penalty.

At the same time, her younger sister, who was the first to find her dead, is devastated and cannot believe that she will never see her again.

My child is not coming back, but whoever did this to her I want the death penalty. I want his people to cry, like we are crying today, the father of young Nicoletta told Star.

He had keys to the house, so since no signs of break-in were found and her mother and sister were not home, I believe he did it and when he is found he will be dealt with according to the law, the 17-year-olds father continued.

I had seen him once. He hadnt left an impression on me because I had told her to stop anyway. Both from this particular person and from these type of people in general, said Mr. Karolidis.

At the same time, he noted that recently, every time he communicated with Nicoletta by phone, she sounded happy.

We talked a week ago. We dont talk all the time because I live far away but she hadnt said anything to me nor had I noticed anything. She told me that she is having a good time and is happy. Her mother, who lives with her every day, will know better what the child was hiding, he said.

TSA chief says under 1,000 illegal immigrants have been allowed to board planes with warrants as ID – Fox News

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

The head of the Transportation Security Administration said on Thursday that "under 1,000" illegal immigrants have been allowed to board planes using warrants as identification this calendar year -- as he faced a grilling on the matter from Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo.

Hawley asked TSA Administrator David Pekoske at a Senate hearing about a TSA policy that allows illegal immigrants to use warrants, which represent civil immigration enforcement and are not criminal arrest warrants, as an alternative form of identification.

"How many individuals have presented TSA with arrest warrants or deportation notices and been allowed to travel this calendar year?" Hawley asked.

"Under 1,000 sir," Pekoske replied.

HAWLEY SEEKS ANSWERS ON UNACCEPTABLE TSA POLICY OF ALLOWING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO USE WARRANTS AS ID

Hawley had written to Pekoske earlier this year about the policy, which he called "unacceptable" but had not received a response. Pekoske said he would be receiving one on Friday.

"For noncitizens and non-U.S. nationals who do not otherwise have acceptable forms of ID for presentation at security checkpoints, TSA may also accept certain DHS-issued forms, including ICE Form I-200," a TSA spokesperson told Fox News earlier this year. That refers to a civil immigration arrest warrant.

The agency added that the document will then be validated via an "alien identification number" that involves personally identifiable information being checked against a number of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) databases, including the CBP One mobile application and TSAs National Transportation Vetting Center (NTVC).

On Thursday, Pekoske said that the presentation of a warrant marked the beginning of a further verification process.

"These individuals who have these arrest warrants, these arrest warrants were issued by Border Patrol or a customs officer, and they serve as a beginning of our identity verification process so you can't walk up to a checkpoint, wave that form and then go right through into screening," he said.

SENATE REPUBLICANS QUIZ BIDEN ADMIN ON TSA ALLOWING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO USE WARRANTS AS ID

While Pekoske said those use who warrants as ID also received enhanced screening, Hawley asked if they were given an in-person interview by a federal security director -- to which Pekoske said they were only interviewed by officers present at the checkpoint.

Hawley pushed the TSA chief on why he would allow illegal immigrants with such a warrant onto a flight at all.

"We arent looking at whether a person is legal or illegal in the country," he said. "Our role is to make sure that people who may pose a risk to transportation that is significant enough to require enhanced screening or to not allow them to fly."

"So your position is someone who is known to have violated the laws of the United States does not thereby need enhanced screening?" Hawley said.

"Sir, there are people who violate the laws of the United States every day who fly," Pekoske responded. "We look for things related to transportation security."

While Pekoske again stressed that the warrant is "the beginning of an identity verification process that follows" Hawley was not convinced.

"I think youre going to have a hard time explaining to folks who wait for all of this time in these lines, who subject themselves voluntarily to the restrictions you imposethat youre allowing illegal aliens with warrants for arrest to get on airplanes."

"I just find that totally extraordinary," he said.

Biden Doubles Down on "No-Deterrence" Policy While Illegal Immigration Soars and a New Route Opens in the Atlantic – AMAC

WASHINGTON, DC, July 18 During the American Revolution, patriots had a rallying cry, one if by land, two if by sea. It was Paul Reveres lantern-based signal to alert revolutionary forces as to which route the British forces were taking.Its been updated as we deal with the 21st-centuryst century invasion of illegal immigrants, as a new front opens up for the migrant invaders on our Atlantic shores.

Indeed, as the Washington Examiner put it: A thousand miles from the U.S.-Mexico border, federal law enforcement, and military that patrol the waters surroundingFloridaandPuerto Ricoare seeing the emergence of a newborder crisis.

Senator Marco Rubio [R-FL] puts the blame on the Biden administration.He said, They dont care about enforcing the law becausetheyre activists [who] support open bordersthey think the border should be open and anyone who wants to come across should.Theres no country in the world that would tolerate that.Mexico wouldnt tolerate it. Guatemalawouldnt tolerate it. Canada wouldnt tolerate it. And we shouldnt either.

The Examiner report says that over the past eight months, more than 10,000 wannabe migrants have been detained by the Coasts Guard in the waters off the coasts of Florida, Cuba, and Haiti.The Department of Homeland Security admits that more migrants are being stopped at sea than ever before.

Meanwhile, illegal traffic at our Southwest border crossings has continued to increase to historic levels since President Biden took office a year and a half ago. In a new report by Andrew Arthur at the Center for Immigration Studies [CIS], he says you can chalk it up to Mr. Bidens no-deterrence policies.

As he put it, Biden Doesnt Want to Deter Illegal Migrants He Wants to Ensure They Can Seek Asylum. These are not the best of times at the Southwest border.In fact, CBP [Customs and Border Patrol Agency] statistics reveal it is instead the worst of times.Border Patrol agents there apprehended more illegal migrants inFY 2021than in any fiscal year in history. InMay, theyapprehended more illegal migrants at the Southwest border than in any single month in history (monthly records by region go back toOctober 1999).

Why? Because the president does not want to deter the illegals. Instead, says Arthur, theofficial policyof Bidens DHS is to ensure that every alien who can make it to U.S. soil legally, illegally, fraudulently, or otherwise has a safe, orderly, and legal pathway to apply for asylum, regardless of whether they are simply coming to make more money and even if they passed through numerous asylum-granting countries on the way.

The fact of the matter is that since he took office President Biden has issued 16 executive orders blatantly aimed at making it easier for illegals to come to the U.S.He issued eight immigration related executive orders on the very day he was sworn in as president, January 20, 2021, including the Preserving and Fortifying Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Itinstructs the secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the attorney general to take all actions he deems appropriate, consistent with applicable law, to preserve and fortify DACA, according to the CIS.

Another of Mr. Bidens executive orders he issued that day was labeled, Revision of Civil Immigration Enforcement Policies and Priorities. It cancelled an executive order that President Trump issued, which cancelled the Obama administrations immigration enforcement order that exempted nearly all aliens.Mr. Trumps order also targeted sanctuary cities and made them ineligible for federal grants, except those deemed necessary for law enforcement. The CIS analysis describes President Bidens replacement order as emphasizing family reunification, addressing illegal immigration across the southern border, reforming the asylum system, and promoting integration for new Americans [we can assume he means both legal and illegal immigrants].

4 Men Indicted in Connection With Deaths of 53 Illegal Immigrants in Texas – The Epoch Times

A federal grand jury in San Antonio has indicted four men in connection with a deadly human smuggling incident in late June that left 53 illegal immigrants dead and injured 11 more.

The 53 people who died, three of whom were minors, were among a group of illegal immigrants found inside an 18-wheeler traileron a remote back road in southwest San Antonio on June 27.

All four of those indicted had been previously charged by prosecutors. The more serious grand jury indictments in San Antonio move the accused one step closer to trial.

Two Americansthe alleged driver, Homero Zamorano Jr., 46, of Pasadena, Texas, and his co-defendant, Christian Martinez, 28, of Palestine, Texascould face the death penalty or life in prison if convicted, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Western District of Texas.

Prosecutors announced separately that a grand jury also returned indictments against two Mexican citizens suspected of possession of a firearm while unlawfully present in the United States. Juan Claudio DLuna-Mendez, 23, and Juan Francisco DLuna-Bilbao, 48, each face up to 10 years in prison if convicted, prosecutors said.

The charges in the federal indictment against the two Americans include one count of conspiracy to transport illegal aliens resulting in death; one count of transportation of illegal aliens resulting in death; one count of conspiracy to transport aliens resulting in serious bodily injury and placing lives in jeopardy; and one count of transportation of illegal aliens resulting in serious bodily injury and placing lives in jeopardy, according to a Justice Department (DOJ)statement.

If convicted of the charges of conspiracy to transport and transport resulting in death, they face a maximum of life in prison or the death penalty. Attorney General Merrick Garland will decide whether to seek the death penalty at a later time.

Should the Attorney General determine that the circumstances of the offense are such that a sentence of death is justified, the law requires that notice be filed with the court at a reasonable time before trial, the department noted.

The two men also face up to 20 years in prison for charges related to transporting resulting in serious bodily injury. The sentencing will be determined by a federal district court judge upon conviction.

On the day that authorities found the truck of illegal immigrants, officers from theSan Antonio Police Department were led to Zamoranothe trucks driverwho was observed hiding in the brush after attempting to abscond.

The trailer was packed with 64 individuals and didnt have water supplies or signs of working air conditioning inside, according to a court document filed in late June.That day, temperaturesin the area reached as high as103 Fahrenheit (39.4 Celsius). More than a dozen people from the truck were taken to hospitals with heat-related illnesses.

Martinez, according to a court document, hadtold a government confidential informant that the air conditioner wasnt working properly before authorities found them. Martinez also said that Zamorano was unaware the air conditioning unit stopped working and [that] was the reason why the individuals died.

Investigators found communications betweenZamorano and Martinez concerning the smuggling event after executing a search warrant on Zamoranos cellphone, the DOJ said.

Agents from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) confirmed that Zamorano was the individual from surveillance footage provided by Laredo Sector Border Patrol, which shows thevehicle passing through an immigration checkpoint that day.

The driver could be seen wearing a black shirt with stripes and a hat. HSI agents confirmed Zamorano matched the individual from the surveillance footage and was wearing the same clothing, the department said.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in late June that the Biden administrations illegal immigration policies are partly to blame for the deadly incident.

Republicans have attributed the spike in illegal border crossings to the Biden administrations failure to enforce federal immigration laws and rolling back of key Trump-era border policies, including rules that were created to stem the COVID-19 pandemic. But Democrats counter that thesurge in illegal immigration is largely owing to an economic crisis in Central and South America, even as Border Patrol agents have said that people from all over the world, and not just from Latin America,are arriving at the border.

In efforts to curb illegal immigration in Texas,Abbottin 2021 issued a number of orders, including one that allows state troopers to pull over vehicles with illegal immigrants suspected of having COVID-19.
