The Mossos d'Esquadra arrested a man around 60 years old this Sunday at noon for killing another in the Bon Pastor neighborhood of Barcelona.

The National Police have arrested a 19-year-old man in Igualada (Anoia) on suspicion of several cybercrimes, including disclosure of secrets and violations of privacy. The young man is allegedly behind the theft of 64 million personal data records, which he then resold online. The data, stolen from nine different companies, includes national identity card numbers, names, home addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, and IBAN codes. The investigation began in June when police received alerts about personal data breaches at nine different companies. Their inquiries led them to conclude that a single individual, a young man from Igualada, was responsible for all these activities. Police also determined that, once he obtained the data, the arrested man sold the information on various hacker forums. On these sites, he used five different pseudonyms and maintained six different user accounts. Last week, police searched his home in Igualada and arrested him there. They also seized several computers and cryptocurrency wallets stored on the suspect's devices. Officers also blocked one of these cryptocurrency wallets, which they suspect he used to deposit the profits he made from selling the stolen personal data.

JAEM had accumulated eight convictions for robbery when he escaped from prison. The first sentence against him was handed down in 2010, when he was 45 years old: a court in Arenys de Mar sentenced him to two and a half years in prison for robbery with intimidation. A year later, in the summer of 2011, the same court convicted him for seven more robberies. In some cases, he had broken into the victims' homes—injuring two of them—and in one instance, he even entered the residence armed. Ten years later, on February 7, 2021, JAEM, then 56 years old and having escaped from Quatre Camins prison, broke into the home of a 96-year-old woman in Calella to rob her and ended up stabbing her to death.

He scaled interior courtyards and building facades, searching for an open window or a door ajar. He climbed to "unbelievable" places. "It seemed incredible that a person could climb," recalls Inspector Jordi Alsina, head of the Horta-Guinardó police station of the Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police). Once he reached his personal summit, he would stealthily remove his shoes and step barefoot onto the apartment floor, careful not to make any noise and wake the residents. Then everything moved very quickly. If nothing disturbed him, he would search for jewelry, cell phones, cash... He would shine a flashlight everywhere. Shortly afterward, he would disappear with his loot.
