Alarm in Spain: Man arrested for plotting to assassinate PM

Sniper rifles were found in his apartment

A general destabilization plan, with international expansions and unforeseen consequences, was thwarted by the Catalan police, who announced the arrest of a man who had planned and launched the assassination of the Socialist leader and Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sanchez.

Catalan police say a man has been arrested in the Terrace area. According to the text of the announcement, the man who was arrested had an entire arsenal in his house and after the interrogation he was subjected to, he had planned the assassination of the Prime Minister of Spain. "The arrested man was taken to prison," where he is being held under draconian security measures. At the same time, his interrogation is continuing, in order to clarify whether there would be accomplices in his project, or if there are other people who knew about his plan and did not report it to the Spanish authorities.

The man arrested was 63-year-old Manuel Murillo Sanchez, a former security guard, according to the Catalan newspaper Publico, which revealed the matter, which was later confirmed by Catalan police. He was brought in as a suspect three weeks ago, according to the same newspaper.

Catalan police say 63 guns, including sniper rifles, were found in the apartment where the 16-year-old man was detained, indicating that the Spanish prime minister's assassin was planning to hit from a distance.

It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.
