At the time, police rescued the hostages near the crime scene and arrested 10 individuals, while the last suspect fled to Spain. After frequently changing cities of residence, he was captured near Málaga. The Spanish court is proceeding with his extradition to France for trial under the EU arrest warrant mechanism.
