Extract from Wikipedia

Nizar ben Abdelaziz Trabelsi is a Tunisian former professional footballer. In 2003, a Belgian court convicted and sentenced Trabelsi to ten years' imprisonment for his association with Al-Qaeda, and for a variety of crimes, including attempting to destroy the military base Kleine Brogel Air Base. After serving his time he was sent to the United States to be prosecuted for terrorism and was cleared by a federal jury in July 2023. Trabelsi was imprisoned in the U.S until he was extradited back to Belgium in 2025 where he was released.
