The arrest of Jesús Alejandro Ramírez Valencia, the alleged Colombian hitman who was arrested on Friday, April 29 in the Lanzarote neighborhood of Argana Alta, was recorded by a team from the Fugitivos program on channel #0 of Movistar. A few minutes after the arrest, he asked the National Police and the Colombian Police not to return him to his country. «If I go back, they'll kill me», he told the agents.

«I can collaborate with everything you ask of me. The only thing I want is not to go back there, because there they will kill me if I return», said Ramírez Valencia, 30, who was at his home with his girlfriend and a friend. The report shows how the police prepare the intervention from Madrid and when they break down the door of the terraced house where he resided. 

The alleged hitman is nervous at all times. When asked by the police, he replies that he had fled to Lanzarote to seek asylum because his life is in danger in his country. «They are threatening me. They killed my uncle. They are extorting my father», he declares in front of the cameras.
