The teacher Fernando Reinares, an expert in violent radicalisation at the Real Instituto Elcano, spoke to the Congressional committee about an imam whom almost no one in Ripoll knew. He is Tarik Chadlioui, also known as Tarik Ibn Ali. One Salafist imam, of Moroccan origin and Belgian nationality..
Professor Fernando Reinares made it clear: Many confused Chadlioui with Es-Satty. But They were two different profiles.. And while everyone was looking only at Es-Satty, Chadlioui's silent but powerful influence was overlooked..
Catalonia, a welcoming land for Chadlioui
Between 2013 and 2015, Chadlioui preached in several towns in central Catalonia., as Loanword. He used to preach sermons, knew Muslim communities and had contacts there.
And most importantly: He felt very welcome. In Catalonia, unlike what happened in its country, There were no restrictions such as a ban on the burka.. That legal change He was pushed to leave Belgium for Egypt, Birmingham (in the United Kingdom) and then to Catalonia., where he could preach without any problems and move about with his wife.
The arrest in Majorca
In June 2017 (two months before the attack), the Spanish police arrested Tarik Chadlioui accused of being part of a cell that A jihadist attack was being planned on Inca Town Hall Square..
Despite these accusations, The National Court granted him bail. in January 2019, on bail of 60,000 euros. The court considered that the police reports provided indicies of questionable relevance and that the conclusions were too simplistic.
The people from Ripoll were looking for information about Chadlioui.
When it became known that he had been arrested in Majorca, There was movement in Ripoll. Some people from the Muslim community They started to look for information about him., wondering who exactly that man was who had preached so close to him. All in all, only two months before the attacks.
According to Fernando Reinares, the members of the Ripoll cell had on their mobile phones a large amount of material related to the Islamic State, as well as speeches by Chaidlioui.
The relationship between Belgium and Ripoll
The most disturbing thing is that one of the members of the Ripoll cell (Driss Oukabir) He met Chadlioui in Belgium, in the city of Antwerp, in February 2017.
This journey was no mere anecdote. Fernando Reinares explains that the young man moved around Belgium and He contacted several individuals known to Belgian security services for their involvement in terrorist networks, jihadist recruitment and participation in attacks..
The most revealing thing about what the expert told the commission is that The system used to manufacture the explosives in Alcanar was identical to the one used in the 2016 Brussels attacks.. This suggests that Ripoll's cell had direct access to operational knowledge, very possibly through personal contacts with experienced jihadists. Both the use of fans and refrigerators to manufacture the TAPT in Alcanar and the strategy of financing it all and flying under the radar are part of the high-level jihadist playbook.
All this leads Reinares to conclude that the Ripoll cell was not only “inspired” by the Islamic State, but that She was somehow linked to the international jihadist structure and had direct information and training..
You need to know who he is. Chadlioui
This imam who is not Es-Satty, but who He was in Catalonia, he preached in Manlleu, he lived comfortably here while in Belgium he was a man under surveillance., is part of the hidden history of 17-A.
The attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils cannot be understood without confronting the role that Salafism plays in Catalonia. According to Reinares, Salafism is comfortable in some communities in the country, where it has taken firm root and circulates freely under the guise of religious piety.
