Man arrested in Zaragoza as alleged perpetrator of sexual assault after being located in Germany
The National Police detained a man on 31 August in Zaragoza as the alleged perpetrator of a sexual assault reported on 19 August, according to Google News ES — Crime (es). The individual had left Spain previously, after the case was covered by the media.
The arrest is part of an investigation opened following a series of attacks reported in the previous two weeks in the area surrounding Parque del Agua and the La Almozara neighbourhood. At least three women had apparently filed complaints for sexual assaults in that area, which caused considerable concern among residents and led to increased police presence in the area.
According to the National Police, the suspect fled Spain after several media outlets published news about the case. Officers managed to identify him "quickly and efficiently" and locate him in German territory. The authorities succeeded in bringing him back to the Aragonese capital, without specifying the mechanism used for this.
On Tuesday, the detainee was brought before Plaza Uno court of the Violence Against Women section of the Zaragoza Court of First Instance, which ordered his remand in custody. For now, the charge is limited to the assault of 19 August, although the investigation remains open in relation to the other cases reported in the same area.
