Spanish Police Arrest Moroccan Man Suspected of Online Jihadist Recruitment

A Moroccan national, accused of participating in "crimes of indoctrination and apology for terrorism", was arrested in Reus by the Spanish police. According to the Spanish authorities, the defendant is a great orator of the "jihadist doctrine and the ideas of Daesh".

The 38-year-old suspect is considered a dangerous element, for having been in contact with other terrorists arrested in the past. His target is people who do not share the values promoted by the Muslim religion and the Islamic State organization, Daesh. He is known to have carried out a solid process of self-indoctrination and massive dissemination of the ideas of the terrorist organization through the Internet.

According to the Spanish police, the accused publicly justified the terrorist actions of Daesh. Relying on his talent as a great orator, he exercised "rigorous control" over the social media groups he managed on various virtual platforms.
