Allal El Mourabit is a Moroccan with Spanish nationality who has been in and out of prison for years for crimes related to jihadism.. Currently, he resided in Vitoria on probation with a telematic control bracelet.. But that control device stopped giving a signal on September 27 and the trace of this man convicted of terrorism was lost.. Now it is his family who has gone to a police station to report his disappearance and ask that they look for him.. The security forces and bodies have already had the alert activated for days. His relatives find the way he left strange, because he left the documentation at home. “His attitude, lately, was normal,” they add..
El Confidencial has had access to the complaint filed by his brother last week. He did it at a Vitoria police station under the warning that he had a legal obligation to tell the truth.. This relative sets the time of disappearance at between 8:20 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. on September 27 in Salburua Park in the Basque capital.. The man convicted of jihadism whose whereabouts are unknown is 53 years old, is 1.90 meters tall, weighs about 80 kilos and has a thin and hunched physical appearance, with dark-gray hair.. Since 2022, he lived at his sister's house, who also appeared at the police station. They claim to not know the reasons why their brother has not returned.
It was the Police, in fact, that contacted the family members on September 27 to ask them about the convicted man.. The authorities had been alerted that he had removed his telematic bracelet. A while before, he said goodbye when leaving the house saying that he was going for a walk. His mobile phone, his documentation and bank cards were left at home.. This man convicted of terrorism has a son with whom he maintains regular contact and who lives in Morocco with his mother, whom he divorced years ago.. Despite his problems with Justice, it is the first time that he has disappeared, according to the version of his brothers that appears in the complaint..
They are not aware that he had expressed his intention to change his lifestyle. He also did not take medication or have mental problems. One of the brothers did tell the police that lately he said he felt overwhelmed. He also doesn't have a car or motorcycle. I used to do almost everything at home, even praying, I barely went out and if I did it in half an hour I was back. His relatives find it strange that he did not even take his phone with him, because he was very active on social networks. In fact, this activity cost him a conviction in the past for glorifying terrorism. With that way of life, there are no friends or acquaintances of his in Vitoria either.
Their legal cases
He had been unemployed for some time after 30 years in Spain. He was arrested for the first time after the jihadist attack in Nice in 2016, when a Tunisian living in France killed 86 people at the wheel of a truck. El Mourabit, then living in Pamplona, also drove trucks and used to spread jihadist propaganda on his social media profiles.. He traveled to Türkiye with the intention of entering Syria. When he was tried in 2018, his attitude in the trial earned headlines such as “The jihadist who trolled the National Court”. He reminded the judges of the audios of the then Minister of Justice, Dolores Delgado, and Commissioner Villarejo in which she said that judges of the National Court had relations with minors on a trip to Colombia.
For trying to enter Syria, he was sentenced to two and a half years. Having spent two years in preventive detention, he was provisionally released, but he was arrested again and spent another two years in preventive detention awaiting a new trial.. On this second occasion, he was acquitted because the judges understood that he had been prosecuted twice for the same facts.. But he still had to serve the six months pending the first sentence and probation measures were imposed on him at the request of the National Intelligence Center (CNI).. He was prohibited from leaving Vitoria, nor could he resume his job as a truck driver or attend events.. The telematic bracelet linked to a mobile phone was imposed on him. According to those around him, these measures made it impossible for him to resume his life before his convictions and probation.. He still had five years left in this situation. His family does not know if he has returned to Morocco, if he has suffered any mishap or if he has fled from Spain to another country.
