He spent five months hidden, crouching in his burrow, protected by his closest and familiar environment, even changing his domicile from time to time. He is the third arrested for the assassination, on June 4, of Borja Villacís (Madrid, 1983), the brother of the former vice-mayor of the capital, Begoña, shot dead in a locality of Monte del Pardo in a colony of accounts by previous quarrels between two groups. The operation is not closed, pending possible additional arrests; At least, that of a man who would have helped the men to escape in a second vehicle, certain sources point out.
At the close of this edition, it was expected that the person arrested this Wednesday afternoon in Getafe, in the metropolitan area of Espartales, would be brought to justice in the coming hours. They arrested him during a “trunch”, one of the surveillances to which they had subjected him for some time. His whereabouts were officially unknown, although investigators knew perfectly well who the second man who shot Villacís was. Although he has always been undocumented, it is one of the self-protection measures that the Moroccan practiced during these five months to avoid being located, for example, at an ordinary police checkpoint.
Borja, who was a member of Ultras Sur, an admitted neo-Nazi and who had been the subject of a National Court investigation in a drug trafficking case, was shot by two men. One of them, Kevin P. E, 25, and his mother, María José EJ, 52, were arrested shortly after the incident. They are both Spanish. She is the one driving the BMW X2 from which the attack began. The other shooter, the one currently detained by Homicide Group V of the Superior Police Prefecture, is an 18-year-old Moroccan. He had already completed them at the time of the facts, according to the sources in the file, who point out that he had however already had police reports as a minor, but not afterwards. He is considered, with Kevin, as the material author of the murder. To María José, his mother and driver, necessary collaborator in the crime and the escape that followed.
On June 4 at 12:30 p.m., Villacís was mortally wounded. The three accused had met one of his friends, David, because he had reported them for setting fire to a car that he did not want to lend to Kevin. The two factions now knew each other. Plus, the Spanish murderer. who was chained the next day in Yuncos (Toledo), where he was hiding in a squat, he also engaged in cocaine trafficking from an apartment in Carabanchel.
The owner of the Seat León over which the dispute had started met with Kevin at midday, but some of David’s friends came, including Borja, supposedly to mediate. Kevin wanted me to withdraw the complaint. And the tap exploded in the form of a shootout with a 7.62 caliber rifle and a 12 caliber shotgun. They were brandished by Kevin and the 18-year-old Moroccan. One of David’s companions, his friend Luis, was seriously injured and was taken by another, Nacho, to the Jiménez Díaz Foundation.
María José and at least her son fled in the BMW, whose license plates were changed on the Fuencarral highway, and Kevin and the fugitive then began to travel the country. She was arrested two hours later at a gas station in Plaza Elíptica. David told police that the person arrested was “a Moor”, and a member of the circle, Ismael, a Moroccan, was arrested, but was eventually released.

Fascist tribute
The adolescent fanaticism of Borja Villacís opened the doors to the fearsome Skin Cubos section (whose name refers to the place where its members stopped, the Plaza de los Cubos), linked to Ultras Sur and dedicated to sowing terror until the end of his activity in 1998. It is in this context, that of an era marked by the splendor of the Autonomous Bases (BB.AA.), that the brother of the former vice-mayor began his career in the ranks of Madrid’s radicals.
Ultras who, on September 24, a few hours before the match between Real Madrid and Alavés, paid him a unique tribute in their fort on Marceliano Santamaría Street. There, different generations of members of the group expelled from the Bernabéu lit flares and chanted songs related to the Blue Division and other fascist slogans. A bouquet of roses and two banners reading “Death is not the end” and “Borja, always present” recreated a day which, because of the paraphernalia, recalled an almost paramilitary act.
