Now due in court accused of having stabbed his partner to death in Coll d'en Rebassa on Tuesday, the high court's decision in May blocked an expulsion order by the Spanish Government's delegation in the Balearics that had been issued some months previously. The delegation's order took account of "compelling reasons of public security", i.e various sentences for offences that included violence.
His defence argued that execution of the order would mean "the breakup of his family in Spain" and a great reduction in his rights, as it would prevent him from moving freely to other countries and being able to build a future in them.
The defence drew attention to his roots in Spain, where he had resided since 2008. He was living with his partner and had two daughters, both of them born in Spain.
On Thursday, he refused to testify at the National Police station. There was some doubt on Thursday as to who might represent him in court. Several lawyers had apparently declined, citing different reasons.

The so called "judges" who let this man remain in Spain, should also be held in part, responsible for the death of his partner. Ths has been a a serious miscarriage of justice!!!
tranq tranquerSyria? Well that makes perfect sense. He's Romanian if you don't know. Where would you send him if he was Irish or Estonian?
For me please bring back the DeathPenalty for crimes of murder.
Well the " hooman rights " of his partner are out the window. The rights of his daughters have hopefully improved as they won't be seeing him for years if ever again. Him - personally I would send him to Syria to work 12 hours per day ( he looks fit and strong) digging up the bodies from mass graves. Give some worth to his worthless life.
Whoever made this decision should be sacked immediately.
