(E-Notícies) The arrest this week of a fugitive jihadist in Spain who killed three people during his disappearance has questioned the functioning of the system. Despite having been convicted twice and having spent two years in prison, Allal El Mourabit had been released under supervision. His family reported his disappearance before this dangerous, highly radicalized jihadist committed three murders in Navarra and Catalonia.
The police recently arrested ten Pakistanis in Barcelona who were planning to behead infidels, and six of them were released. In light of cases like this, concern is growing about the anti-terrorism security system in Spain. Unfortunately, these are not isolated cases.
In 2024, the State Security Forces and Corps carried out 33 operations against Islamist terrorism in Spain and made 81 arrests. Only 33 of them were sent to prison. The rest, 60% (six out of ten), were released.
