Several months ago, Almansouri was charged with a $2,500 payment and a pending grand theft auto charge by prosecutors in Sumter County, Fla., for allegedly kidnapping, sexually assaulting and threatening to kill a female co-worker, Leah Parian. He was released on charges.
Parian told FOX News Digital that despite the Orlando-based Ninth Judicial District’s prosecutor’s office warning that al-Mansouri was a “possible serial killer,” He said charges of assault and battery were dropped. Parian took to Facebook to criticize prosecutors for “callously” reducing his charges.
“I can guarantee you,” Maricopa County District Attorney Rachel Mitchell told Fox & Friends. [Almansoori would] be detained [in Arizona]“Rather than be prosecuted in New York for fear of further early release.

“It was just a few weeks ago that some of the illegal immigrants who beat up police officers in New York City were released,” Mitchell said. “They switched off the cameras when they left the prison, so where do you think they ended up?
“Four of them ended up in Maricopa County and had to be taken into custody here. I don’t want that to happen. I don’t want this person to come out and victimize more people. I do not want.”
A spokeswoman for the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office called Mitchell’s comments “deeply disturbing” and accused him of “politically playing a role in the murder investigation.”
“In Manhattan, we take the safety of New Yorkers seriously, which is why murders are down 24 percent and shootings are down 38 percent since Attorney Bragg took office,” said Emily Tuttle. . arizona republic
Mr. Bragg fired back directly at the Maricopa County District Attorney. thursday press conferencesaid her decision was motivated by “old-fashioned pomposity and politics”:
“I’ve been a prosecutor for 20 years, and that has no place in our profession. It’s disgusting to me that a member of our profession would choose to play politics in a murder case. That’s very concerning,” Bragg said. On Thursday, he echoed Tuttle’s statistics.
“In my county, Manhattan, the murder rate is less than half that of Phoenix, Arizona,” Bragg said. “In 2023, there were 198 criminal homicides. Here in Manhattan, there were 73.”
