Operation Tindra

: a combination of Cristina and Sandra, the names of the two victims of

'El Melillero'

, the criminal who, since Tuesday, had become the number one target of the security forces on the Costa del Sol after

attacking with acid to both girls

and that he was arrested on Friday night in Mijas after a spectacular chase on a motorcycle and on foot.

An arrest that was rushed after locating his last hiding place and that has been accompanied by five more people who have provided coverage these days.

Among them, his brothers and friends.

The Civil Guard has offered this Saturday more details of a complex investigation, "very difficult", according to sources close to the case have informed this newspaper, who have indicated that in the hours before the arrest a possible location was obtained that ended up being confirmed.

JADN, 26

, a dangerous criminal from a broken family, with a past in juvenile centers and a long criminal record,

did not stir when agents cornered him.

Not a punch, not a kick, not a trace of that violence that he showed harshly when he exploded

.

Not a single outburst was heard.

Silence and absolute surrender.

With the contorted face of someone who knows that their escape has come to an end.

"The control of his closest circle, both family and criminal, with numerous

records of drug trafficking and other crimes,

" has been key to the positive outcome of the case, which has required 200 agents to monitor the large number of collaborators and research objective infrastructures.

The capture of the young man came on the night of this Friday, when he began to flee on a motorcycle along the

road that connects Mijas with Coín

.

At that moment, a spectacular persecution began, which was joined by patrols and air resources.

The getaway, unlike on Wednesday night, was unsuccessful, as the criminal allegedly suffered an accident with the motorcycle, which was found in the Entrerríos area.

Given the possibility that he had continued on foot, raids were made that finally allowed him to be located in an inhabited area.

The arrest was made by members of

the Rapid Action Group

(GAR), who managed to catch him despite the fact that the investigator had entered a scattered area, "taking advantage of the terrain and the low light conditions," the Armed Institute specified. , who have explained that, in his attempt to escape by motorcycle,

"El melillero" hit one of the camouflaged vehicles that followed him

.

In addition to El Melillero, five other people arrested

In this phase of the escape he

had the help of another individual who was accompanying him on a motorcycle

of similar characteristics to try to mislead and avoid any police force.

He was also arrested.

"He's made a hare, don't see how he climbed the hills,"

a local resident commented in an audio about the capture, to add that "-the agents- have seen them. Until the 'green' have arrived, the 'Green' those soldiers who look like Robocop, those who don't go around with little girls ".

A video that was disseminated through social networks captured part of the tension experienced during the arrest and in which the indications that the agents supposedly made to the suspect to depose their attitude are heard.

The deployed civil guards completely surrounded the area to prevent it from leaving it, and the place was carefully inspected until the construction where

'El melillero'

was hidden was

located, who was accompanied at that time by two other people

who they supported their evasion.

Once his exact whereabouts were known, the agents managed to arrest him, as well as the two people who accompanied him.

Another group of civil guards proceeded to arrest the rest of the people who had facilitated the concealment and flight of the aggressor.

The

operation, which is still open and new actions are not ruled out

, ends for now with the capture of the main suspect and five other people, among whom are his brothers and "colleagues."

The sources consulted said that the operation was rushed when suspicions about his location turned into certainties and

speculated that the young man was 'invited' to leave the place so that the device that had been installed

in the area

for days was dissolved

.

The President of the Government,

Pedro Sánchez

, applauded the result of the operation and on his Twitter account highlighted the "great work" of the security forces that

"have put an end [...] to the flight of Sandra's attacker and Cristina. Best wishes to both of you who are still in serious condition at the hospital

.

"

"Sexist violence has no place in our society. We will end it and the attitudes that support it," he added.

The deputy delegate of the Government in Malaga,

Teófilo Ruíz

, also used social networks to confirm the positive outcome of the investigation and declare that "we cannot tolerate more sexist violence."

Sulfuric acid

The name of JADN, a dangerous young man whose criminal record had become anonymous, found its way into the front pages of most of the country's media after the

brutal attack on his former partner and a friend of his

.

It happened around 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday in the town of

Cártama

, specifically at the intersection between Félix Revello de Toro and Cristóbal Toral de Cártama streets.

The two victims, Sandra and Cristina, were inside a car when another one occupied by the driver's ex-boyfriend stopped next to them.

The young man got out and hit the girl's window with the excuse that he wanted to talk to her.

With some qualms, he lowered the glass a few centimeters, at which point the man

threw sulfuric acid in his face,

which also hit the companion.

The aggressor, who was driving a gray car, quickly left the place, while the young women got out of their car screaming and with serious burns in different parts of the body.

The people who were in the area were the first to help them.

The doctors from Health Emergencies 061 who traveled to the place, given the severity of the main affected, agreed to her urgent transfer by helicopter to the Virgen del Rocío hospital in Seville.

The Minister of Equality, Social Policies and Conciliation of the Junta de Andalucía, Rocío Ruiz, affirmed this Friday that

"there is fear for life

.

"

Sandra is in the Large Burn Unit with 45 percent of her body burned.

Cristina, who was transferred to the Regional Hospital of Malaga, remains hospitalized stable within gravity with a

20 percent burned surface on her face and legs

.

That same afternoon, Civil Guard agents made

inquiries around the suspect in Mijas, where his family resides, and Fuengirola, the municipality where his last residence

known to the security forces was located, since the main hypothesis was that he could be being helped by your network of contacts.

'El Melillero'

is an old acquaintance of the police forces who accumulates procedures for

mistreatment, threats, robbery with force and intimidation in an inhabited house, belonging to a criminal group, drug trafficking and against road safety, among other crimes

.

A criminal who escaped death when he was shot outside the house of a relative and who was involved in a serious incident with a firearm in a nightclub, as reported by this newspaper.

The young man also has a

complaint for mistreatment by another woman and a restraining order in 2016

, to which was added seven arrest warrants in force for different reasons.

In addition, he has several final convictions for crimes against road safety, for driving without a license and a ruling against him for attacking and injuring a national policeman.

Since this Friday he

has added new charges to his long history

.

After a conscientious work by agents from different bodies, he has finally been captured again and remains in the premises of the Armed Institute while investigators from the Judicial Police Team

continue the proceedings to clarify whether the cause of the attack was that the ex-girlfriend of 'El Melillero ', Sandra, ended the relationship

, as it initially seems.

The sources consulted have defined him as a young man with a "sick obsession".

"Now is the time for justice," declared the deputy government delegate
