Detenido en Cornellà de Llobregat un supuesto terrorista yihadista que creaba propaganda con IA
On July 1, Spain's Civil Guard arrested a Moroccan man in Cornellà de Llobregat, suspected of using social media and encrypted communication platforms to spread jihadist propaganda and using AI to modify images to produce terrorist propaganda content; he has been ordered into pretrial detention. Although young, this person has a large following online, and investigators believe his ability to spread propaganda poses a potential danger. During the same period, police also carried out arrests in Melilla, Madrid, and Málaga, with 8 people in Melilla and elsewhere suspected of spreading terrorist propaganda and inciting violence through private messaging groups since 2023.
