To do so, the detainees used the main social networks used by people in that age range. The modus operandi of the two Jihadis involved the public dissemination of detailed terrorist content, specifically designed to identify and attract vulnerable individuals to extremist ideologies. These individuals were then enticed to join a private group, skillfully run by the two detainees, where dozens of users were identified across various Spanish provinces. Furthermore, in addition to carrying out virtual activities, investigations have detected graffiti in the streets praising the Daesh terrorist group, such as ‘Dawlat al islam baquiyah’, which means ‘Islamic State remains and expands’. The private group administered by the suspects served as a hub for disseminating audiovisual content, messages, and slogans, specifically tailored to attract and radicalize new followers.
