Overview

  • Two Dominican nationals arrested in December 2024 are accused of carrying out execution-style killings in Barcelona and Carballo, Galicia.
  • The Poble Sec bar owner and José Luis Alvarado were both killed in incidents linked to narcotics-related score-settling, with similar professional methods used in both cases.
  • Mobile-phone analysis by Mossos d'Esquadra and Guardia Civil uncovered connections between the suspects and both murders, leading to their arrests in Madrid and L'Hospitalet de Llobregat.
  • The suspects, who remain in pre-trial detention, reportedly have prior murder convictions in the Dominican Republic and are believed to have high mobility across countries for carrying out contract killings.
  • Investigations continue to explore the suspects' potential links to broader criminal organizations that may have commissioned the executions.
