He will be tried in Morocco, the first time Rabat has agreed to try one of its own citizens for crimes in another country
A man suspected of involvement in the 2004 Madrid train bombings has been arrested in Rabat on official charges presented by the National Court judge, Juan del Olmo last month accusing him of playing a part in planting the bombs.
Abdelilah Hriz was arrested on Sunday, and according to news on Monday from Javier Zaragoza, Chief Prosecutor at the National Court, Morocco has agreed to try him at Spain’s request. There is no extradition treaty between Spain and Morocco and it is the first instance that Rabat has agreed to try a Moroccan citizen for crimes committed in another country.
Judge del Olmo named Hriz as a prime suspect in the train bombings in February last year on the basis of DNA evidence found at the flat in Leganés where seven of the suspected bombers blew themselves up after the terrorist attacks, and also at a property in Chinchón which was used by the terrorists.
Hriz was recently released from custody following an appeal against his sentence for other terrorist activities.
The judge charges Abdelilah Hriz with 191 murders, 1,811 counts of attempted murder, four of terrorism destruction, together with trafficking, possession and supply of explosives.
