A Moroccan man, previously convicted of sexually abusing and exploiting over a hundred children in Spain—primarily in Tortosa—has been apprehended in Turkey after evading capture for several years.
This incident once again highlights the shortcomings of left-wing immigration and security policies, which seem more focused on political correctness than on safeguarding the most vulnerable members of society.
The arrest occurred on April 20 in Istanbul, as confirmed by Interpol. The suspect’s identity has not been disclosed by authorities, but he had been on the run since 2019, following his conviction in Spain for crimes related to sexual abuse and child exploitation.
The majority of his victims, children aged between 10 and 16, were lured in Tortosa, Tarragona—a case that sent shockwaves through public sentiment.
The man operated within a network that preyed on vulnerable minors, many from disadvantaged backgrounds, subjecting them to abuse and forcing them into prostitution.
An investigation led by the Guardia Civil dismantled part of this criminal structure in 2018, but the primary perpetrator managed to escape justice. His capture in Turkey marks the culmination of years of international cooperation—an irony that stands in stark contrast to the apparent inaction of certain governments that seem content to look the other way.
This case is not an isolated occurrence. Since 2015, Spain has witnessed a surge in crimes linked to exploitation networks associated with unchecked immigration.
Data from the Ministry of the Interior reveals that human trafficking cases increased by 12% between 2015 and 2020—a period characterized by lenient immigration policies championed by the left. Meanwhile, communities like Tortosa have suffered the consequences of inaction.
The left, always quick to champion human rights, remains conspicuously silent when the victims are Spanish children and the offenders are immigrants with criminal histories.
This silence is indeed profound. Instead of reinforcing borders and imposing stricter penalties, they prefer to engage in vacuous rhetoric that only exacerbates the problem. Public trust in institutions, unsurprisingly, is at an all-time low.
The arrest in Turkey represents a minor victory for justice, yet it does nothing to heal the wounds of the victims or to address the negligence that allowed this predator to operate with impunity for years.
While the Guardia Civil and Interpol deserve commendation for their diligence, the same cannot be said for the politicians who turn a blind eye as public safety deteriorates.
This scandal should serve as a crucial wake-up call. Protecting citizens, especially the most vulnerable, must take precedence over policies that enable exploitation. Open border policies and a tolerance for crime do not represent progress; they are, instead, a glaring irresponsibility.
