The determination over Abdalraouf Abdallah, a childhood friend of mass murderer Abedi, was revealed by the Parole Board in a statement yesterday. The decision follows a four-day hearing.
Abdallah, from Moss Side, was jailed for nine-and-a-half years in 2016 for helping people going to Syria to join the Islamic State group. The 31-year-old faced a parole review after being recalled to prison for breaching licence conditions in 2021.
But, despite the Parole Board's decision, he is still due to walk free from prison later this year when his sentence expires.
The long-running public inquiry into the Manchester Arena bombing of 2017, in which 22 people died, found that Abdallah had a 'significant relationship' with Abedi and played an 'important role in radicalising' him.
