Why It Matters
Joint police operation against jihadist indoctrination and radicalization in Catalonia.
New operation against terrorism in Catalonia: the National Police has arrested two alleged jihadists in Barcelona and Tarragona, sympathizers of the terrorist organization Daesh, immersed in a "severe radicalization process."
Specifically, they have been arrested for a crime of terrorist indoctrination and training. The detainees systematically and repeatedly accessed jihadist web repositories and consumed abundant content linked to Daesh.
The main suspect systematically accessed platforms and different web repositories with radical jihadist content, although the person under investigation took extreme security measures, both physically and virtually.
As a result of these findings, the researchers linked to this man the profile of a second person who, in the same way, carried out these radical searches, some of them focused on a possible trip to a country in the Middle East with the aim of carrying out violent jihad.
The operation has been carried out jointly by agents from the General Information Commission (CGI) and the Provincial Information Brigade of Tarragona, although it has also included the international cooperation of the FBI, under the direction of the Investigation Section of Court number one of the National Court.
Open Questions
- When will the detainees be brought to justice?
- Was an imminent attack planned in Spain?
