Detainee Mohamed Azzouz Benhalima has delivered exclusive confessions about traitors and felons lurking abroad, lifting the veil on their involvement in despicable plans targeting Algeria’s security, unity and stability.
In new testimonies broadcast Sunday evening by Algerian television under the title “Path of felony …. details of the conspiracy”, the detainee Benhalima returned to the first part of these confessions on traitors and felons lurking abroad in order to show the Algerian people their true nature and the means they use in the exploitation of young Algerians in plans targeting the Algerian state and People’s National Army (ANP) in particular.
Recalling having joined the ranks of the ANP as a driver, Benhalima said he had made contact in August 2019 with the named Mohamed Abdellah to whom he expressed his desire to emigrate, adding that he felt comfortable since the latter was a former soldier.
Mohamed Abdellah systematically contacted Larbi Zitout (responsible for Rachad terrorist movement) to keep him informed of the discussions details, he added, noting that Larbi Zitout’s objective was to recruit active soldiers within the various units of the army (ANP) to serve as a source of information and use it later in its plans.
Detainee Benhalima said he left Algeria in September 2019 for Alicante (Spain) where he contacted Mohamed Abdellah who was his intermediary with Larbi Zitout. The latter provided him with financial aid to blackmail him, through his brothers Miloud and Ismail as well as the named Moussa Zerrari residing in Lyon (France).
He also mentioned his first contact with the named “Amir Dz” who got in touch with him to ask him for his phone number.
In October 2019, detainee Benhalima said he was admitted to a reception center for asylum seekers in Tolosa (Spain) where he started broadcasting incitement videos following directions given by Ismail Zitout. At this time, he was contacted by Larbi Zitout to ask him to launch a Youtube channel, according to the confessions of Benhalima who noted that Ismail Zitout was the media manager of his brother Larbi.
According to these confessions, Larbi Zitout is the mastermind of the Rachad terrorist movement which also includes Abbas Aroua, Mourad Dehina, Rachid Mesli, Nazim Taleb and two other dual nationals.
Detainee Benhalima said he was pressured by Larbi Zitout to force him to stay in Spain and exploit him in his propaganda plans targeting Algeria.
