Antonio Anglés

After 21 years in prison, Ricart was released on 29 November 2013, and gave a series of interviews in which he still maintained his innocence, alleging a conspiracy that pinned him as scapegoat. According to Interpol's records, Antonio Anglés Martins is still included in its most wanted criminals list. He is described in its database as 1.75 meters tall and has blue eyes. He is charged with kidnapping, rape, murder, unlawful burial, and illegal possession of weapons.

An intense search to find the girls began. On 27 January 1993, after heavy rains, the soil softened and the bodies appeared. Two beekeepers who were taking care of their beehives came across the pit. In the investigation, the Civil Guard found one of Ricart's gloves; a social security slip in the name of Enrique Anglés Martins, Antonio's brother; and a gun cartridge in the pit.

Anglés was not in his house when the Civil Guard went there looking for his brother Enrique. He escaped and hid for a month in a Valencian town, harassed by the Guardia Civil and the police. He was almost captured in Vilamarxant, 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. In February 2021, the Court of Valencia reactivated the search for Anglés, ordering the ship's captain and a worker from a Lisbon transport company (with whom the fugitive allegedly had a telephone conversation) to be interrogated again.

On the night of 13 November 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 with him. While they were driving along the road they saw three girls who were hitchhiking to a party which the Picassent High School was holding in the Coolor nightclub. Anglés asked them if they were going to Coolor and so the three girls got into the car.

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.

Antonio Anglés Martins (born 25 July 1966) is a Brazilian-Spanish criminal and fugitive. He lived in his native Brazil for a year before moving to Spain. According to his relatives and friends, Anglés was known as a habitually violent criminal who frequently beat up his mother. With criminal records for mugging, robbery and drug trafficking, he is best known for his alleged triple offense in the crime of "The Alcasser Girls", committed in Alcàsser, a town in the Valencian region, in which Desirée Hernández, Miriam García and Antonia Gómez were kidnapped, tortured, raped and killed, with Anglés allegedly involved.

Some raised doubts about the 25 July 1966 date of Anglés Martins' birth at São Paulo because the reports of the Spanish Civil Guards and the Police show different dates. Aside from this discrepancy, however, his early life has been documented. He was the fourth of nine children of Enrique Anglés and Neusa Martins, who were married in February 1959. By 1958, the family moved to Spain where they resided in a Valencia town called Catarroja. Sources show that Anglés Martins started living on his own in 1991 when he moved to 101 Camí Real in Catarroja.
