The Prosecutor's Office did not request preventive detention at the initial hearing, so the judge agreed to his release with precautionary measures. Only one of the two accused appeared the next day, which led to his imprisonment and the search warrant against the other.

An 18-year-old detainee, threats, a commissioned crime... certainties and unknowns about the murder of the surgeon in Marbella

Plastic surgeon Alexander Aslani, 57, was shot dead in his Marbella clinic while treating a client. Less than 24 hours later, the National Police arrested an 18-year-old Swedish citizen as the alleged perpetrator, who confessed to the crime. Investigations focus on determining whether he acted on behalf and identifying the possible inducer, exploring professional conflicts with patients, including previous threats and a history of disputes. A relationship with organized crime is ruled out and it is investigated whether the motive responds to a claim for money back or dissatisfaction with a procedure.
