Disturbing disappearance of a dangerous individual
In October 2023, the family of Allal Mourabit made an alarming complaint: it had disappeared after its telematic bracelet stopped working. This incident ignited the alarms of the authorities, who could not imagine that shortly afterwards a series of atrocious crimes would be triggered in Spain.
Crimes that shake Spanish security
Between November 2023 and January 2024, the Mourabit committed a series of killings that left three dead farmers. His first attack took place in Tudela, Navarra, where a man was attacked at the exit of his work. One month later, another murder took place in the same region, followed by a third in Lleida, where the brutality of the jihadist was clear.
A dangerous and radicalized profile
Allal the Mourabit, of Spanish and Moroccan nationality, was an individual with a criminal record related to Islamist terrorism. Its radicalization was evident as it used platforms like YouTube to spread extremist ideas. After several arrests, he was released on the obligation to carry a monitoring bracelet, a system that failed.
The fall of a jihadist on probation
Following an intense search, the French authorities managed to locate the Mourabit in southern France. Its extradition to Spain to deal with its crimes is imminent, but for its victims, time has already been exhausted. The restlessness between the population is growing, with voices that cry for an urgent review of the security system.
Company reactions
Citizens’ reactions have been forceful. Many are asked how it is possible that an individual with such dangerous history has been able to operate so freely. Comments on social media reflect a widespread concern about public security and the effectiveness of preventive measures against terrorism.
Reflections on security and judicial system
The events that surround the Mourabit have highlighted the failures of the Spanish security system. Questions such as its Spanish nationality, the lack of previous expulsion and the possible indulgence of the judicial system in cases of radicalization generate a necessary debate on the measures to be taken to prevent situations like this from happening again.
What are the solutions?
Society demands concrete answers and actions. It is imperative that the monitoring protocols of individuals with a history of terrorism be reviewed. Prevention must be a priority, and collaboration between European security forces becomes crucial in dealing with this global threat.
