Agents of the National Police have arrested a 38-year-old man wanted by the Moroccan authorities for the crime of homicide in Cox, Alicante. He is accused, along with two other men, of attacking a minor with stones in 2012 and causing his death.
Through the Interpol Spain National Central Office, a request for collaboration was received for the search and arrest of a Moroccan citizen who had an International Detention Warrant for Extradition (O.I.D) from the Moroccan authorities for having been convicted of a crime of homicide committed in 2012 and for which he would face a life sentence, as reported by the National Police in a statement.
After learning that this fugitive could be hiding in the province of Alicante, agents from Group I of Organized Crime of the Alicante Provincial Police Station carried out various police efforts to try to locate this person.
Once the pertinent location efforts have been made, the agents have focused the fugitive’s home in the Alicante town of Cox, where they have carried out a police device that has resulted in his arrest.
The acts with which he is accused were committed in 2012 in the city of Nador, in Morocco. The detainee, along with two other people, was the author of an attack with stones that caused the death of a minor.
The other two convicts admitted the facts, alleging that they had thrown stones at the victim because he was trying to steal a goat and accused the now detained man of having been the one who threw the stone that had caused the victim’s death.
The detainee, a 38-year-old Moroccan national, has been placed at the disposal of the Central Court of Investigation Five of the National Court, the body in charge of carrying out the procedures for his subsequent extradition.
