Two French Nationals Arrested in Spain for Murder and Drug Trafficking

Two French nationals have been arrested in Spain, in the tourist area of Benidorm, as they were wanted for murder, drug trafficking, and arms dealing.

One of the two faces three European arrest warrants for homicide, participation in a criminal organization, drug trafficking, and money laundering. French authorities report that he had a role as an accountant in the organization, maintaining records of drug sales.

In 2024, he allegedly organized an armed attack on a bar in Montereau, near Paris, in retaliation for the kidnapping of an associate. A police source confirmed that the attack was linked to a drug trafficking case.
