He had served as the official supplier for a four‑month period, dealing with marijuana. The sequence began in December 2020, when he asked his partner to join him in testing a substance found within his residence in Zaragoza. The situation escalated quickly. A drug investigation led to a kidnapping, with the victim subjected to torture for 17 hours. Releasing him later, investigators discovered the wrong person had been targeted, and the person behind the violence became one of the captors rather than a victim. He accepted a two‑year prison sentence in the aftermath.
In the early days, Yasin Mejtit faced a potential four-year term in prison. Even though he reached an agreement with prosecutors and the attorney for the victim, Olga Oseira, that perhaps spared him from jail, the victim and assailant never crossed paths again. Should there be a breach of a restraining order, the clock would then push him toward a different legal consequence within three years.
Before the magistrate of the Criminal Court No. 1 in Zaragoza, the defendant admitted meeting a compatriot on December 13, two years prior, to trade cannabis in Bruil Park. The plan then led them to a home on Camino Fillas, where seven individuals were waiting. The victim was restrained with duct tape in the living room, and the attackers demanded repayment of a debt as they beat him. They warned that the stolen property or a person named Mohad would be blamed if the victim failed to reveal information. Disturbing videos circulated during the episode, showing others being harmed in adjacent garages as the confrontation unfolded.
Moments later, the assailants threatened the victim with a sharp tool and held a gun near his head. The ordeal stretched across 17 hours. Eventually, they released him, apologizing and even sharing a moment of awkward relief as they said they had been mistaken. Yet the potential consequences lingered, with threats implying harm to the victim’s family in Morocco if any police report was filed. Alongside the now known participants, several others who were connected to the plan moved from Malaga to Zaragoza in a bid to execute the blackmail. The outcome remained unclear for some, and the case underscored how tightly these networks can intertwine with personal fear and coercion.
