MADRID, 17 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

On Thursday, February 23, the medical staff of the National Court will carry out a psychiatric examination on the presumed jihadist Yassine Kanjaa, the presumed perpetrator of the attack committed in January in Algeciras in which a sacristan was murdered and several people were injured.

This analysis was agreed by the investigating judge of the Joaquín Gadea case for the purpose of informing about whether the subject is imputable or not. In his resolution, the magistrate indicated that this forensic examination should be done with full respect for the detainee's right to defense and with his prior consent.

Thus, he officiated at the forensic clinic of the National Court so that two doctors are the ones who carry out the examination on the person under investigation.

It should be remembered that Gadea, after hearing the statement of the alleged jihadist in court, ordered provisional detention without bail, and attributed the crimes of murder and injuries for terrorist purposes that, he warned, could lead to reviewable permanent prison.

In that resolution, he indicated that the activity carried out by Yassine could be classified as a jihadist attack directed both against priests who profess the faith of the Catholic Church and against Muslims who, according to the researcher, do not follow the precepts of the Koran.

Although a psychiatric forensic report was of interest to find out if he is fit to be investigated, he had previously maintained that the violent actions were carried out to consciously and intentionally cause the greatest possible damage, maintaining control of the situation at all times.

The instructor stated in his order agreeing to the unconditional imprisonment that in the two statements that Yassine has given, before the police and in court, except for some contradictions on peripheral elements of the story, he was able to essentially reproduce the most important aspects. important to your action.

He reported that the conduct of the investigated was conscious and that he had defined his objectives, having the option of causing greater damage, he focused his action specifically on the subjects whom he attacked, whom he deliberately chose.

And he explained that the first of the actions was against the priests, recognizing that his intention was to kill all the priests who were in the church. Secondly, the magistrate indicated, he focused his attack on a Moroccan whom he considered unfaithful, believing that he was before a converted Moroccan, for not practicing the authentic religion, and whom he attacked with the intention of killing him.

For all these reasons, the magistrate considered that the detainee identified with a profile of a self-indoctrinated terrorist, who acted individually and was not directly linked to a specific terrorist organization, but who, ultimately, carried out his action in the name of the phenomenon jihadist to which so many adhere remotely, generating a violent attack that causes terror in society and destabilizes social peace.

It should be noted that the National Police indicated that the alleged jihadist presents an "unstable profile" and that he expressly radicalized himself in the last month.

In addition, they also confirmed that the 25-year-old Moroccan was intervened in the search carried out in his home after his arrest "different electronic devices that are currently being analyzed, various documentation and the sheath of the knife used in the attack."

"According to the investigators, it would be an unstable profile whose self-radicalization would have occurred rapidly in a short period of time," the National Police said in a statement after learning that the judge of the National Court had ordered his admission to prison.
