Interpol involved in investigation into disappearance of Belfast man in Spain

International law enforcement agency Interpol is now involved in the investigation into the disappearance of a Belfast man in Spain.

The development was confirmed by the PSNI in an update with the family, who believe he has been killed.

37-year-old John George was last in touch with his family on the 14th of December when he drove from Alicante to Benidorm.

The PSNI recently set up a Major Incident Public Portal for information in relation to his disappearance.

A PSNI statement said, “Following a report to the Police Service of Northern Ireland on Wednesday, 18th December that a 37-year-old man from Belfast, holidaying in Spain, was missing the Police Service of Northern Ireland have been liaising closely with the missing man’s family and other law enforcement agencies. Dedicated Family Liaison Officers have been appointed to provide support to the family at this time.”

“While the investigation must be progressed by Spanish police, the Police Service of Northern Ireland have made an offer of assistance to police in Spain and will assist with any local enquiries as requested by them.”

“We would ask anyone who believes they may have information which could assist the Spanish Investigation Team with their investigation to contact us on 101. Any photographs or footage, including CCTV, mobile phone or dash cam footage, can be shared with the Police Service of Northern Ireland through the Major Incident Public Portal at https://mipp.police.uk/operation/PSNI24T24-PO1 and that information will be forwarded to Spanish Police.”
