Spanish police arrest ISIS follower in collaboration with Morocco’s DGST

The Spanish National Police announced, on Thursday, the arrest in Teulada (Alicante), of an individual for his alleged membership of the terrorist ISIS group, during an operation carried out jointly with Morocco’s Directorate General of Territorial Surveillance (DGST).

“The individual is accused of alleged participation in the crimes of integration of a terrorist organization, recruitment, indoctrination and apology of terrorism,” said the Spanish Police in a statement.

The investigation showed that this individual produced and distributed numerous pro-ISIS publications, and has intensified the number and radicality of these publications in recent weeks, the statement added.

It noted that the suspect had even produced his own pro-jihadist material in order to broadcast it openly on his social networks.

According to the Spanish police, he was in regular contact with people already arrested for jihadist terrorism in Spain and Morocco, as well as with foreign terrorist fighters in the Syrian-Iraqi zone.
