Man arrested in Dénia for threatening witness in fraud trial

Dénia's Judicial Police Brigade arrested a 54-year-old man as the alleged perpetrator of an obstruction of justice offence, following a complaint filed by a woman at the police station. The case has been handed to the Duty Investigating Court in Dénia, to which all police proceedings were forwarded.

According to the complainant's account, a man drove up to where her mother was in a public place and warned her that he would end her life if she attended a fraud trial. The mother was scheduled to testify in the coming weeks before the Provincial Court of Alicante, according to what the woman stated.

The complainant herself explained that, as a result of these threats, both she and her mother came to consider the possibility of not attending the trial for fear of suffering reprisals.

Following the complaint, investigators carried out various checks that made it possible to identify and locate the alleged person responsible for the threats, which resulted in his arrest by the National Police.
