A 25-year-old Dutch man was shot dead while working at a cannabis club in Fuengirola, on the Costa del Sol in the province of Málaga, on 7 December 2024. The attacker used a semi-automatic weapon. The suspect, a Belgian national who was 17 at the time, is alleged to have been recruited as a contract killer and to have been sent to kill someone other than the man he shot. He was first arrested in Ghent in June 2025 under a European arrest warrant and transferred to Spain two months later, where he was held in a juvenile detention centre. He was released in May 2026 after the nine-month legal maximum for pre-trial detention expired without a trial beginning or precautionary measures being sought, and then disappeared. In August 2026, now 19, he was arrested again in northern Belgium. The East Flanders prosecutor's office reported the arrest.
