A 2024 report from the Athens Institute’s Prison and Terrorism Observatory reveals that 40% of Spain’s terrorism-related detainees are Moroccan nationals.

The report said that all Spanish citizens arrested for terrorism offenses come from the cities of Ceuta and Melilla.

Of the 81 people arrested in joint operations by the Spanish Civil Guard and National Police, 33 were detained, emphasizing the distinction between preventive actions and judicial decisions based on evidence.

The most common charges were glorifying terrorism, ideological indoctrination, and funding terrorism, with only 6.06% officially linked to terrorist groups.
