The National Police<\/a> and the French authorities<\/strong> have arrested a man following an investigation which identified him as the alleged member of a gang<\/a> responsible for the death of a man in Ibiza<\/a> after stealing his luxury watch.<\/p>\n

Officers have concluded this operation, which began on 15 August 2025, when a man was assaulted in the Marina area of Ibiza and had a high-end watch stolen from his wrist whilst he was accompanied by his partner.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the police force explained that one of the members of the alleged criminal gang<\/strong> had already been arrested at that time. These individuals are believed to have coordinated their actions to watch and follow the victim until the final theft of the item.<\/p>\n

From that moment, the Ibiza National Police launched an investigation to clarify the facts and arrest the remaining participants. Over the past few months<\/strong>, officers learned that the victim of the theft had died as a result of a head injury sustained during a fall at the time of the robbery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Consequently, once the perpetrators had been identified, along with their varying degrees of involvement and culpability, efforts began to arrest them through the process of issuing a European arrest warrant<\/strong> via the courts in Ibiza, as these individuals had fled the island.<\/p>\n

Finally, the main perpetrator was located in France<\/a> in February and was arrested in recent days after presenting himself with false documentation. After spending a few days in pre-trial detention due to the risk of absconding, the detainee was brought before a judge in the French town of Amiens to face trial for the offence of document forgery and to have the arrest warrant processed.<\/p>\n

The detainee, who faces possible charges of manslaughter<\/a><\/strong>, robbery with violence and membership of a criminal organisation, will be extradited in the coming days to appear before the Spanish judicial authorities. Furthermore, further arrests in the coming days cannot be ruled out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The National Police and the French authorities have arrested a man following an investigation which identified him as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":870178,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5309],"tags":[47657,34744,2834,2000,299,11795,36,103371,13085,2843,246955,30751,529,19424,104],"class_list":["post-870177","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-france","tag-arrest","tag-assault","tag-balearics","tag-eu","tag-europe","tag-fatality","tag-france","tag-gang","tag-ibiza","tag-latest-headlines","tag-luxury-watch-theft","tag-manslaughter","tag-police","tag-robbery","tag-spain"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116342945753923635","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=870177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870177\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/870178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=870177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=870177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=870177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
