Four long guns found at far-right leader’s home

Police found four long guns at the home of far-right activist Isabel Peralta during coordinated raids linked to the Núcleo Nacional investigation, according to reports in Spain.

The search formed part of a wider National Police operation that reached Alicante and six other provinces last Friday. CNS reported earlier that the case had already led to 14 arrests across Spain; read the earlier report here.

Four weapons seized at her home

Peralta, described in the reporting as one of the group’s leaders, was detained in the operation and later taken before a judge. She was subsequently released with charges and ordered to hand over her passport because of what the court considered a flight risk.

The latest detail to emerge is that officers found four long guns at her property. The material reviewed for this report does not say where the weapons were kept inside the home or whether they were licensed.

The broader police operation was coordinated by the Comisaría General de Información and involved searches in Asturias, Madrid, Guadalajara, Burgos, Alicante, Pontevedra and Valladolid. Among the locations searched was the group’s Madrid headquarters.

Probe linked to alleged hate offences

Investigators are understood to be examining possible offences including incitement to hatred, illegal association and weapons possession. Spanish reports say the inquiry began after concerns over the group’s recruitment of minors.

The case remains open. Police have not said whether further arrests or charges are expected.
