[citation needed] 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.
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.
[citation needed] 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.
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.
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.
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.
The stowaway was later spotted by a French reconnaissance aircraft drifting on a raft off the coast of Ireland, and the ship circled back to pick him up.
[4] 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.
