The Moroccan was expelled aboard a flight to Casablanca from Malpensa airport in northern Italy, the ministry said.
The deportation came immediately after the Moroccan was released from jail after serving a sentence for minor offences. While in prison in the northern city of Reggio Emilia, the suspect told warders he would wage Jihad if he was stopped from praying, the ministry stated.
The Moroccan was the 21st suspected religious extremist to be deported from Italy this year. A total of 258 such suspects have been expelled from the country since January 1, 2015, said the ministry.
