             Paris Gunman's Alleged Arms Supplier Arrested in Spain

   by VOA News

   A man suspected of selling a gun to the perpetrator of a deadly January
   2015 attack on a Paris kosher market has been arrested, the Spanish
   Interior Ministry announced Wednesday.

   The ministry statement said 27-year-old Antoine Denive, originally from
   the northern French town of Sainte Catherine, was arrested on a
   European warrant Tuesday in the small Spanish coastal town of Rincon de
   la Victoria.

   Denive is suspected of selling a firearm to Amedy Coulibaly, who opened
   fire on a kosher supermarket in Paris just days after the attacks on
   the offices of the satirical Charlie Hebdo magazine. He killed a
   policewoman and four other people before police shot him dead.

   Devine fled France several weeks later for Malaga, Spain, where he
   allegedly continued illegal arms dealing under a false identity,
   according to the Spanish ministry.

   Spain's high court said Wednesday that Devine denied selling arms to
   Coulibaly, but agreed to be extradited to France.
