My previous post was on the arrest in the Netherlands of a suspect in the shooting of a Spanish politician in Madrid last November and featured a Dutch news translation.
The below article is from the Spanish site, 20 Minutos, and identifies the suspect as Mehrez Ayari, a French citizen of Tunisian origin.
The translation is by Fousesquawk.
Mehrez Ayari, alleged material perpetrator of shooting of Vidal-Quadras, arrested in Netherlands.
The National Police have reported the arrest in the Netherlands of a man alleged to the material perpetrator of the shooting of Vidal-Quadras. The fugitive who was sought was Mehrez Ayari, a French citizen, 37, of Tunisian origin, with multiple previous offenses in France.
According to the National Police, it was Dutch agents who arrested Ayari, the hitman, who was subject of an international arrest order issued by the National Court, whose court number 5 is investigating the case.
The police are now investigating the relationship of this citizen with the Mocro-Maffia, a powerful Dutch-Moroccan criminal organization on the radar of numerous European countries for their extreme violence.
Alejo Vidal-Quadras was shot in the face last November 9 near his residence on Calle Núñez de Balboa in Madrid.
Sixth arrest for attack
It makes the sixth arrest carried out in the course of the investigation of the attack perpetrated against the founder of Vox and the former president of the Popular Party of Catalunya.
In April, the National Police also announced the arrest of a woman in Holland for her alleged participation in the financing and preparation of the attack against the politician.
Among the arrested is Greg Oliver Higuera Marcano, a Venezuelan located on the Colombian border, allegedly implicated in the purchase of the motorcycle used in the attack and whose extradition has been requested by the judge.
The first three arrests were carried out on 21 November in Spain; a couple in Lanjaron (Granada) and a young man in Fuengirola (Malaga). The man arrested in the Granada locality was remanded to custody, while the woman-of British origin-and the young man-also connected to the motorcycle-were released.
