Mansour was also sentenced to four years in prison for promoting terror – the same charge that he was convicted of in 2007 and for which he spent three and a half years in prison.

Mansour faces expulsion to Morocco, from where he moved to Denmark back in 1983. He subsequently became a Danish citizen in 1988.
