The police think that the man was the victim of a family gang of drug traffickers.
Five people will appear in court in Almería shortly in connection with the discovery of the body of a Viator man, now named with the initials J.A.B.L. which was found in a burnt out Audi A4 car close to Gérgal.
Police say that all those arrested are part of a family clan known to be drug traffickers and that they had accused the dead man of the theft of several kilos of hashish.
