The court order says: “Although the defendant is not at risk of fleeing, since he is Spanish, a private security officer, and does not have a criminal record, there are concerns that he may commit other crimes given how serious what occurred is.”
In a statement made before the judge, Christian LF admitted posting a statement on social media demanding a ‘hunt’ to attack Moroccan migrants in the Murcia town of Torre Pacheco after an elderly man was attacked in the street by three men on July 10.
The judge said that the defendant had incited violence, racism or hostility on racial grounds by publishing these messages. This would have led to violent and hateful behavior against Moroccans in Torre Pacheco.
