🇪🇸🇲🇦 Spanish prosecutors are seeking 19 years and 11 months in prison for Youssef D., a young Moroccan man accused of leading a criminal gang that used fake Grindr profiles to lure gay men into nighttime ambushes in Las Norias de Daza, Almería.
Prosecutors say Youssef created at least 3 fake profiles using different names and photographs, arranged meetings with victims and directed them to secluded locations where other members of the group were waiting.
In the first attack, a victim was attacked with homophobic slurs, death threats and physical violence. They chased him down, knocked him to the ground, kicked him, bit his hand and stole his phone. Other victims report similar attacks.
The other members of the group are yet to be identified.
