Missing man’s body found in Crevillente

Guardia Civil

The man who went missing in Crevillent has been found. His body was discovered by the Guardia Civil this week, and an autopsy has verified his identity.

An alert was sent out on Tuesday, March 18th. The SOS Missing Persons Association was in charge of distributing the case notice and alerting people to the man’s vulnerability via its social media accounts.

No one has been able to discover him alive despite searching for them. His body was discovered on Wednesday, March 25th, at approximately 9 a.m.

Identification has not been done at the scene of the body, which was discovered in some bushes in the municipality of Crevillent. The body of the man who vanished eight days prior was identified by the autopsy conducted on Wednesday, March 26th. According to this report, natural causes were the cause of death.

The first 72 hours after a disappearance are “important as they allow for extreme measures to be taken to find the missing person,” according to the group.

There are a number of reasons for this, including the possibility that the individual may still be in the vicinity of the residence or location where they vanished, particularly in the case of youngsters and the elderly, and the possibility of obtaining evidence that will provide light on the circumstances surrounding the disappearance.

“As soon as all necessary steps have been taken and it is certain that a family member has disappeared, the State Security Forces (National Police, Guardia Civil, Local Police, or Regional Security Forces) must be immediately contacted to report the disappearance,” they say.

There, they remind us that, in contrast to what many people think, “it is not necessary to wait 24 or 48 hours” to make these complaints. “The 24-hour thing is a legend,” say National Police Alicante.

“If you suspect the disappearance of a family member or friend who has not done so voluntarily, you should let us know from the very first minute because the first minute is crucial for investigators to have the most relevant and important information,” these same sources stress, repeating the association’s message.

Firefighters in Alicante try to storm the plenary hall

Alicante Plenary

“We don’t know what would have happened if they had gotten in .” When firefighters tried to attack the plenary hall of Alicante City Hall yesterday, Thursday 27th March, one eyewitness characterised their level of anxiety as follows. In the end, local police officers stopped them from going inside.

The plenary session in March has turned into one of the bloodiest in recent memory. An attack attempt by municipal firefighters who were protesting their working conditions was the cause.

During the plenary session, the demonstrators yelled, “Barcala, comply,” “Barcala, take off your tie and come to the park,” and “Come here and talk to us.”

They tried to push their way in, and their anger erupted because they weren’t being heard. They were also halted by officers from the Rapid Intervention Task Force of the Local Police. Eventually, they were forced to leave.

The demands for the promised improvements—first, the state of the city’s fire station facilities, and second, compensation for the unusual services required for their work—were the foundation of the violent protest.

Barcala bemoaned the manner in which these demands were implemented, calling it a “disgrace to the plenary session,” according to Europa Press. Rafa Mas, a spokesman for Compromís, was summoned to order “stirring up the protests.” Mas bemoaned the “precarious situation” and “lack of resources” faced by the city firefighters during his remarks.

PSPV, Vox, EU-Podem, and the rest of the opposition concur that while they do not agree with the “forms” of the firefighters’ protests, they do agree with the “demands” and the “substance.”

Although Silvia Castell, a socialist councillor, has urged the mayor to “listen to them” and “fulfil his promises,” Manolo Copé, a spokesman for EU-Podem, feels that “their demands must be heard” because the mayor “is not up to the task.”

Moldovan mobster arrested in Torrevieja

A 37-year-old Moldovan male has been taken into custody by the Guardia Civil in accordance with an Italian European Arrest Warrant (EAW). Known as “thieves in law,” the detainee belonged to the Russian-Soviet criminal organisation VOR V ZAKONE, which was committed to committing significant crimes.

The arrest happened on February 28th in Torrevieja while Guardia Civil officers were performing a public safety duty. While on patrol, they spotted three people on a restaurant terrace and saw one of them attempting to hide after spotting them. The officers became suspicious of this behaviour and went on to identify him.

After doing technical examinations, the authorities concluded that the person’s Romanian passport, which was of excellent quality, was a fake. After being detained and brought to government facilities, his fingerprints were recognised, proving his identity.

On March 2th, 2022, the Verona Criminal Court sentenced the detainee to 11 years in prison for international criminal conspiracy offences of a mafia nature. The detainee was a member of the VOR V ZAKONE organisation, which was committed to committing crimes against people and property using mafia-style intimidation, threats, and violence.

The man had been hiding in Spain since the sentencing, using fictitious paperwork to evade discovery. To ascertain whether the fugitive has committed crimes in Spain, the Guardia Civil is still looking into the matter.

The detainee was taken to the Court of First Instance in Torrevieja, where he was ordered to be detained until his extradition to Italy.

The Guardia Civil underlines its commitment to combating international crime and deals another blow to organised crime with this operation.
