Overview
- Mossos d'Esquadra, in an April 9 operation in Figueres and Perafita de Cabanes, arrested four men aged 24 to 62 who have since appeared before the Figueres duty court.
- The victim was held on December 8–9, 2025 at a farm in Perafita de Cabanes, then taken to France near the Belgian border until a partial payment on a €60,000 demand.
- After release, the victim received repeated threatening calls on multiple lines pressing for the unpaid share of the ransom.
- Investigators working with French police identified suspects who mostly lived in France but made regular trips to Catalonia.
- A search of the farm found blood on a sofa and buried clothing tied to the case, and police are examining whether a narcotics debt explains the abduction as the inquiry stays open.
