    Authorities in the central city of Magdeburg, where the attack occurred on Friday, also reported clashes at a far-right demonstration attended by approximately 2,100 people on Saturday night, while other residents participated in solemn remembrance ceremonies.

    The suspect, a 50-year-old Saudi Arabian man who has lived in Germany for nearly 20 years, has been placed in pretrial custody after being charged with five counts of murder, multiple counts of attempted murder, and grievous bodily harm, according to a police statement.

    Identified by German media as Taleb A., the man has permanent residency in Germany. Authorities, adhering to local privacy laws, have not disclosed his full name.

    The victims of the attack include a nine-year-old boy and four women aged 45, 52, 67, and 75.

    The motive behind Friday night’s attack remains unclear. Investigators are exploring various possibilities, including the suspect’s criticism of Germany’s treatment of Saudi refugees. Suspect had also expressed strong anti-Islam views and support for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party on the social media platform X.

  • Spain sentences former IMF Chief Rato to four years in prison for tax crime

    Spain sentences former IMF Chief Rato to four years in prison for tax crime

    Canada Global (Web News) A Madrid court on Friday sentenced former IMF chief and Spanish economy minister Rodrigo Rato to over four years in prison for tax crimes, money laundering, and corruption.

    This new sentence follows Rato’s 2018 conviction, where he was given a four-and-a-half-year term for misappropriating funds during his time at a bank.

    Prosecutors accused Rato of defrauding the Spanish tax authorities and embezzling 8.5 million euros between 2005 and 2015.

    The court found him guilty of three tax-related offenses, one count of money laundering, and one count of corruption, according to a statement.

    Rato was sentenced to four years, nine months, and one day in prison, along with a fine of over two million euros ($2.1 million). He has the option to appeal the decision at Spain’s Supreme Court.

    Rato served eight years as Spain’s economy minister and deputy prime minister under conservative leader José María Aznar before becoming the head of the International Monetary Fund from 2004 to 2007.

    He later led Spanish bank Bankia, where he used company credit cards for personal expenses between 2010 and 2012, which led to his 2018 prison sentence. He was later transferred to a semi-open prison in late 2020.

    The Bankia scandal, which surfaced during a severe economic crisis, angered many Spaniards, especially after the government spent 22 billion euros on a bailout for the struggling bank, which became a symbol of financial mismanagement.

  • European police arrest more than 100 mafia suspects in broad crackdown

    European police arrest more than 100 mafia suspects in broad crackdown

    Canada Global (Web News) More than 100 people were detained by police in Europe on Wednesday as part of a crackdown that delivered a “serious blow” to the Italian ‘Ndrangheta mafia. Suspects were allegedly involved in the trafficking of drugs and firearms with Latin American equivalents.

    “Today’s raids are one of the largest operations carried out so far in the fight against Italian organised crime,” said German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser, adding that they had “dealt a serious blow to the ‘Ndrangheta.”

    According to the EU law enforcement organisation Europol, the raid was a component of an investigation that involved Italy, Germany, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, Slovenia, Romania, Brazil, and Panama.

    The network was primarily focused on international drug trafficking from South America to both Europe and Australia, according to a statement from Europol.

    Massimiliano D’Angelantonio, the head of the Italian police, claims that the network set up money transfers through Chinese money brokers in Italy and Colombia to pay for cocaine purchases.

    In addition to smuggling cocaine from the PCC (Primeiro Comando da Capital), a criminal organisation in Brazil, the ‘Ndrangheta clans allegedly also smuggled weaponry from Pakistan to South America.

    The Cosa Nostra has been eclipsed by the ‘Ndrangheta as the most potent mafia organisation in the nation and one of the biggest criminal organisations in the world. The ‘Ndrangheta has its origins in the southern Italian region of Calabria.
