Record
He spent two years in prison for kidnapping, chaining and hitting 20-year-old Nuria Pera Mateu in January 1990, apparently for stealing some grams of heroin from him. The woman's life was saved thanks to the intervention of one of Anglés’ brothers. Given a chance for social reintegration, he received penitentiary leave of six days in 1992, and he took advantage of it to escape, with the result that he didn’t finish his sentence and he was from that point on arrest warrant.
The Alcácer crime
Reconstruction of events
On the night of November 13, 1992 Antonio Anglés, well known as "Asukiki" or "Sugar", went for a drive in the Opel Corsa of his friend Miguel Ricart Tárrega (Catarroja, 1969) who was also with him. While they were driving along the road they saw three girls who were hitchhiking to a party which the Picasent High School was holding in the nightclub Coolor. Anglés asked them if they were going to the nightclub Coolor and so the three girls got into the car.
When they arrived at the nightclub Coolor, Anglés told Ricart to continue driving. The girls started screaming. Right after, Anglés pulled out a 9 mm Star gun. He hit them with the butt of the gun and then he tied them up. "El Rubio", as people called Ricart, drove the car to Catadau. This was the area where Anglés used to hide when the Guardia Civil were looking for him. He suggested the half fallen in hut [1] of "La Romana" as a place to take the girls. Two of the girls were raped by both Anglés and Ricart. Later, they decided to tie them up and return to the town to look for food. When they came back, they raped the third girl and then they dug the pit and obliged them to go there, where they shot and buried them. They picked up the cartridges of the gun and cleaned the car.
Ensuing days.
From that moment on, an intense search to find the girls began. On January 27, 1993, after heavy rains, the soil softened and the bodies appeared. Two beekeepers that were taking care of their beehives (Gabriel Aquino and José Sala Sala, of 69 and 53 years old respectively) came across the pit. In the ensuing investigation the Guardia Civil found in the same pit the following: one of Ricart’s gloves, a social security slip in the name of Enrique Anglés Martins, Antonio’s brother, and a gun cartridge.
Anglés wasn’t in his house when the "Guardia Civil" went there looking for his brother Enrique. He escaped and he hid for a month in a Valencian town, harassed by the "Guardia Civil" and the police. He was almost captured in Villamarchante, but he managed to escape the extensive police cordon which had been set up. He appeared again in Minglanilla (Cuenca) some days later, the last place in Spain where he was seen before being subsequently spotted in Lisbon in March 1993. From this point on, there are two theories: The first says that he boarded the boat City of Plymouth as a stowaway, before jumping overboard on being discovered near the coast of Ireland. Thereafter, his trail was lost, and he is believed to have died from cold or drowning in those waters. The second theory simply assumes that in Lisbon he boarded a ship for Brazil, his native country, and he managed to get there and enter the country with his Brazilian passport, since he had dual nationality (Spanish and Brazilian), but the reality is that until the present day nothing is known about his whereabouts and Anglés remains one of Interpol's most wanted criminals.
According to Interpol’s records, Antonio Anglés Martins was born on the 25th of July, 1966. He speaks Spanish and Portuguese, he is 1.75 meters tall and he has blue eyes. He is charged with kidnapping, rape, murder, unlawful burial and illegal possession of weapons.
