German woman arrested for murder in Dénia last year

German woman, un-named in reports, has been arrested in connection with the murder of a 34 year old woman from Colombia who was found dead outside her home in Dénia in April last year. The suspect is accused of hiring a hit man to kill the victim, who EFE reports was her husband’s lover.

It’s understood that the hit man worked with the suspect’s husband in an extortion network which had targeted at least a dozen victims. Money laundering and weapons trafficking are also under investigation.

Six suspects have now been arrested in connection with the murder and the extortion network which was uncovered during the course of the investigation. None of their identities have been released, as the case remains governed by secrecy, but it is known that another two are from Germany and three from Poland.

The National Police Violent and Organised Crime Unit has frozen 15 bank accounts and searched nine addresses in the case. They have also seized six top range vehicles, 15,000 € in cash, gold coins and silver ingots, and a large amount of ammunition.
