A 'completely normal' white Italian Catholic girl converted her entire family to extremist Islam and bullied them into starting new lives in Syria with ISIS, it is alleged.

Former call centre worker Maria Giulia Sergio, now dubbed 'Lady Jihad' because of her recruiting prowess, travelled with her husband, an Albanian Muslim, to Syria in late 2014 to join ISIS.

The 28-year-old stayed in constant contact with her parents Sergio and Assunta, and her older sister Marianna, bombarding them with emotional blackmail and Islamist propaganda over Skype until they agreed to follow her.

Police wiretaps of their Skype conversations revealed how the jihadi bride, who changed her name to Fatima after the Prophet's fourth daughter, laughed about her husband stoning an adulterer to death and told her sister that non-believers should be killed in their own land.

Her family are originally from the town of Torre del Greco, near Naples. Around ten years ago, in grave economic difficulty, they moved to Inzago near Milan to take advantage of a generous church and a local charity who helped them, according to reports.

Under duress from their extremely determined daughter, the family allegedly agreed to leave Italy for a new life in the Islamic State at the end of June.

But Italian DIGOS anti-terror police, who had been monitoring 'hours and hours' of their Skype conversations, swooped in to arrest them in. They were accused of terror crimes, imprisoned and refused bail for fear they would abscond to Syria.

This week, in a unexpected tragedy, Fatima's mother Assunta died while awaiting charges in prison.

Before her death, Fatima berated Assunta and the rest of her family for still living among non-believers, who she called 'animals', and insisted they abandon their lives in Italy to 'make hijrah' [pilgrimage to the Islamic State] or she 'would never love them again'.

The phone-taps revealed her anxious mother innocently asking if she would be able to grow a vegetable garden in the so-called Islamic State and whether she could bring the family cat along.

But the female extremist ordered her father to 'drag mum here by her hair' because she had 'no right to any opinion' and owed 'total obedience' to her husband.

She did not shy away from telling her family of the brutality of the regime and proudly boasted that her husband stoned an adulterer, according to the wire-taps.

Her mother, was only eventually persuaded when it was promised that Isis would supply her with a washing machine.

Only Fatima's grandmother it seemed had sufficient mental strength to resist the offer of life within war-torn Syria. She was disparaged by her militant granddaughter as a non-believer who 'deserves to be left behind'.

Fatima told her sister in one chillingly casual phone call: 'A married man went with another woman so Said [her husband], as a mujihideen, as a soldier of Allah, went with the other brothers to stone her to death,'

Investigators claimed the two girls then burst out laughing.

She added: 'If only you could see these mujahideen. What they do for the love of God. Leave the house, money, wife, kids, everything and come here to fight.

If my husband decides that I cannot go out, I cannot go out, a woman must prostrate herself in front of her husband to who she owes total obedience Jihadi bride, Maria Giulia Sergio AKA Fatima

'There are mujahideen who are 15, 16-years-old and have killed 50 non-believers. Allah is great.'

As time went on, the family were increasingly subjected to her rants and came under intense pressure to join Fatima, investigators said.

She berated them for living among kaffir [non-Muslims] in Europe, saying it was obligatory to hate them.

Anti-terror police heard Fatima inciting her family to kill non-Muslims. The wire-taps recorded her saying: 'There is no friendship between us and unbelievers even if they are your parents.'

Fatima also said she was ready to be a martyr, saying: 'I tell you in the name of the Islamic State.

'Allah and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi call you here to hijrah, they call the whole world to make jihad in God's name because we must destroy non-believers.'

When her sister Marianna asked her what jihad consisted of, Fatima replied: 'Jihad in the land of the unbelievers? Kill unbelievers.'

Fatima claimed the Caliphate would eventually encompass Italy anyway, saying: 'There will be a great battle in Rome with many mujaheddin dying.'

She praised the perpetrators of the attack on Charlie Hebdo in January saying it 'was licit' - or lawful - as they had mocked the Prophet.

And in February, she claimed that she had received arms training and had been taught how to fire a Kalashnikov and a pistol.

Her mother in particular had doubts about leaving Italy but Fatima ordered her father to assert his authority, saying that she 'had no right to an opinion in the matter'.

Fatima said: 'If my husband decides that I cannot go out, I cannot go out, a woman must prostrate herself in front of her husband to who she owes total obedience.'

The recorded conversations between Fatima and her mother ranged from the mundane, with Assunta asking what kind of suitcase she should bring (one 'with wheels') to poignant, when she asked if she can bring the kitten. Fatima told her to leave it behind with their neighbour.

Her daughter then encouraged her with talk of a 'big house' with two bathrooms that 'has just become available'.

She said her mother can grow all the vegetables she wants, adding: 'You can have the whole of Syria because Syria is full of land that has been abandoned.'

On Monday, Assunta, who was being held in a separate prison from her husband, was finally granted house arrest.

The 60-year-old was hospitalised a week ago for surgery on her abdomen but seemed to be getting better before she suddenly died.

Her daughter Fatima is thought to have converted to Islam in 2007, around the time she married her first husband, a Moroccan pizza-maker whom she later divorced. Marianna also married a Muslim, an Egyptian, and converted to the same faith.

By 21, Fatima, a pretty brunette, already wore the traditional Muslim hijab hair-covering although not full niqab that covers the face.

She appeared on Italian TV programme Pomeriggio 5 in 2009 in support of the hijab, where she said: 'Allah tells us to wear clothes that do not excite men.'

She was also a signatory to a letter to Italian politician Carlo Azeglio against draft laws banning the veil in public buildings.

Before she married, Fatima worked at a call centre near her home and was described by a former colleague as 'a completely normal girl' who 'came to work with her veil on'.

Then she remarried Aldo Kobuzi, an Albanian who lived in Grosetto in Tuscany on September 17, 2014.

Five members of Kobuzi's family were arrested alongside Fatima's mother, father and sister on July 1.

The town of Grosseto was the stomping ground of international famed Bosniac jihadi recruiter Bilal Bosnic but it is not known if Kobuzi had contact with him.

Their marriage at a mosque in Treviglio was allegedly brokered by a Canadian working for ISIS, who is also wanted by Italian police.

Four days after the Islamic ceremony the pair left Fiumicino airport in Rome flying to Istanbul then to Gaziantep in southern Turkey before crossing into the Syria.

Kobuzi, who now calls himself Said, was sent for six weeks training in Iraq before joining the ranks of the jihadis.

Fatima was in contact with her family soon after, extolling the wonders of life under ISIS rule, the investigators said.

Investigators said her family were ready to leave as Sergio had quit his job, they sold their furniture online and had done paperwork to get a passport.

Sergio and Assunta were accused of travelling with the aim of terrorism while Marianna and the Albanians faced more serious charges.

Prosecutors believe they may have been in contact with Turkish hate preacher Shefqet Krasniqi, imam of the Grand Mosque in Pristina, who is suspected of recruiting jihadis in Italy in jail in Kosovo on suspicion of 'incitement to hatred and religious, racial, ethnic intolerance'.

Before his detention, Krasniqi in December 2013 held a meeting with at the El Hilal mosque in Grosseto, Kobuzi's home town.
