ARCHIVED - Three terrorists arrested in Murcia released by police
The Murcia jihadists have been set free as they don’t pose a “serious risk”
Three of the four jihadists arrested by the Policía Nacional in Cádiz and Murcia last week have been released by the authorities as there was no evidence that they were “genuine jihadists planning an attack”.
Two of the men were set free without even being brought before a judge, while the third has been released with new charges on his criminal record. The three arrested in Murcia are said to have been radicalised by a fourth jihadist in Cádiz, Andalucía, via social media and this individual is still in police custody after being taken before the Central Court of Instruction number 6 in Madrid.
🚩 Detenido en #Algeciras (#Cádiz) el líder de un grupo #yihadista cuyos miembros se consideraban "soldados del califato"

The ringleader of the group and the other members were all in the merchandise transport industry, which rang alarm bells for the anti-terrorism experts as they had easy access to large, heavy trucks which could have been used for a potential deadly terrorist attack.
However, the only criminal to pose a “serious threat to public security” is the supposed ringleader, who has been accused of spreading radical and violent extremist material on social media, in an attempt to indoctrinate others. The police have determined that the three other group members were mainly dedicated to viewing the propaganda and they did not make up a real jihadist cell that was planning an attack in Spain.
