19 Arrested After Migrants Report Torture, Murder, Being Thrown Overboard in the Atlantic
19th September 2025
Spanish police have arrested 19 illegal immigrants on suspicion of abusing, torturing and killing 50 of their fellow passengers on a boat as they crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Africa to the Canary Islands.
Remix News reported on the brutal torture and murders earlier this month, but now, it appears the police have narrowed their investigation to at least 19 suspects.
The Spanish coast guard said they rescued the remaining passengers on the 20-meter boat, which had drifted some 400 kilometers from the coast, on Aug. 24.
