The head of audiovisual services at Barcelona International Convention Centre contracted, through his sister, a team of six Colombians who shot and killed the director of the convention centre on February 9, said the police.
Police have also detained the sister and six Colombians.
The shooting marks one of the most extreme actions by Spaniards who fear losing jobs homes and businesses during a recession in which unemployment is rising faster than in any other developed country.
