Woman Jailed, Man Freed With Charges in Spain’s ISIS-Linked Case

Police cite online propaganda activity alongside transfers to Syria as evidence of terror financing.

Overview

  • The National Court’s Central Investigation Court No. 6, led by Judge Antonio Piña, ordered the Ferrol detainee held without bail and released the Cartagena suspect under judicial measures.
  • Both detainees are under investigation for glorification of terrorism, self-indoctrination, indoctrination of others, and financing of terrorism.
  • Investigators say the woman accumulated manuals and materials to self-train in making explosives, suicide belts, and detonators, with guidance attributed to ISIS operatives in Syria.
  • Police carried out three home searches and seized electronics, documents, and an ISIS flag, with specialists now conducting forensic analysis.
  • The probe began in February 2025 and is led by National Police information units under the National Court and Prosecutor’s Office, with support from Europol and Iraqi authorities.
