(AFP) A suspect has been remanded in custody for the “attempted terrorist assassination” of a co-founder of Spain’s far-right Vox party, the High Court in Madrid announced Friday.
Alejo Vidal-Quadras, a former leader of Spain’s main right-wing political party in Catalonia who went on to co-found Vox, was shot in the head in Madrid earlier this month.
“The judge has decided to remand the detainee in Lanjaron,” in the south of Spain, “in custody for the offence of attempted terrorist assassination,” the court said in a statement.
His girlfriend, arrested with him on Monday in Lanjaron, has been released on parole, as has a third suspect, arrested on Monday in the southern city of Malaga.
