The Barcelona Court of Appeal has ordered the reopening of the investigation into the fire at the Piera mosque in the early hours of July 12, 2025, to identify those responsible for the blaze. The incident, which coincided in time with racist riots in the Murcian municipality of Torre Pacheco,, occurred when the mosque was only awaiting one last municipal permit to open.
