Spain. Blocus Network prepares more disturbances in 12 cities
The Blocus network is mobilizing participants for violent actions in Spain, particularly in Barcelona, where disturbances led to significant arrests. Active in 18 locations across 11 regions, the group uses social media to organize and promote thefts from luxury stores. Despite initial failures to gather participants, the network quickly adapted, creating multiple accounts to coordinate actions. Members receive instructions on how to dress and target specific stores, while also sharing tactics to evade law enforcement. The report indicates that Blocus operates through disposable accounts and lacks a formal structure, raising concerns about future violence.
