Officers from the National Police in Melilla have arrested a Spanish man accused of capturing and indoctrinating women in order to send them into Islamic State combat areas.
The arrest comes as a continuation of the police operations carried out in August and December last year in Ceuta, Melilla, Barcelona, Arrecife and Morocco, which have led to the arrest of a total of 11 people.
A spokesperson for the Ministry of the Interior has confirmed that the detainee was believed to be in the habit of showing his own son, a minor, radical jihadist material to familiarize him with the tactics as well as dressing him completely in black, giving him a huge machete and teaching him to obey only 'Sharia' law.
Documents seized have established links between the detainee and women shown to be involved in the network.
The man arrested today is accused of recording radical sermons inciting people to disobey all laws not included in the Islamic 'Sharia' law, to have no contact with infidels and to reject all government other than that of the Caliphate, the system imposed by the so-called Islamic State.
