The Colombian authorities yesterday detained Greg Oliver Higuera, a Venezuelan citizen who was under an Interpol red alert for terrorism, when he tried to enter the country. As police sources confirm to La Vanguardia, this individual is one of the people involved in the attempted murder of the former leader of the Popular Party and co-founder of Vox Alejo Vidal-Quadras.
The investigation of the alleged terrorist attack, coordinated by the National Court, remains in the hands of the General Information Commissioner of the National Police. It was the experts in the fight against terrorism who at the end of November arrested three people—two in Lanjarón (Granada) and one in Fuengirola (Málaga). The magistrate sent the detainee in Lanjarón to prison, but released his partner and the person arrested in the town of Malaga.
In addition, it issued an international search and arrest warrant against Mehrez Ayari, 37, a Frenchman of Tunisian origin with multiple records in France, his country of residence, and whom the Police consider the material author of the attack.
The man now arrested on the Colombian border, according to police sources, is not the material author of the attack, but was allegedly one of those who organized the commissioned crime that should have ended the life of Vidal-Quadras.
