Overview

• National Police and specialized brigades carried out coordinated raids in Vallfogona de Balaguer last Thursday, culminating an 18-month investigation into a Daesh-linked online profile.
• Investigators allege the suspects engaged in self-indoctrination, disseminated jihadist content, and planned to travel to a conflict zone as part of their active recruitment efforts.
• The primary suspect has been remanded in pretrial prison by the Juzgado Central de Instrucción nº 1, and the second suspect faces charges under judicial supervision.
• Search operations yielded laptops, phones and storage devices that are being examined by forensic experts to trace extremist networks and communications.
• The probe was conducted by the Comisaría General de Información with Lleida, Tarragona and Barcelona brigades under the Audiencia Nacional’s direction, alongside Morocco’s DGST in intelligence sharing.
