Daesh suspects arrested in Spain

A total of five people suspected of having ties to the Daesh group have been taken into custody in Spain and Hungary.

In a statement released on Friday, Spain’s Interior Ministry said police arrested a Moroccan man with Dutch identity documents in the northwestern town of Figueras, situated in the country’s semi-autonomous Catalonia region, on suspicion of being a Daesh element.

An investigation is currently underway into whether the suspect’s recent return to Spain from Turkey “was motivated by a desire to carry out some sort of action in Europe,” the statement added.

It further said Dutch authorities and the intelligence services of a number of other countries helped the Spanish police locate the man.

“Investigators are currently trying to determine the degree of radicalization of the detainee, his possible links in Europe, the activities he has been carrying out for Daesh and what his purpose was since his arrival in Spain,” it went on to say.
