Spanish security forces arrest minor linked to extremist online network
A 17-year-old minor has been arrested in Gipuzkoa during a joint Spanish police operation targeting the extremist online group 764 Network.
Spanish security forces have arrested a 17-year-old in Gipuzkoa identified as a key figure in Spain for the extremist group 764 Network. The operation was conducted jointly by the Mossos d'Esquadra, the Ertzaintza, and the Guardia Civil.
Investigative sources state that the transnational organization operates primarily online and "busca captar e influir sobre menores y jóvenes vulnerables." Authorities described the suspect as a "miembro muy activo" who played a prominent role in expanding the group's reach in Spain.
The operation underscores increasing efforts by law enforcement agencies to counter transnational online networks that target adolescents for exploitation and radicalization.
