Alleged mastermind of murder plot involving MMA veteran Alexis Vila is caught in Spain

Former Bellator MMA tournament finalist Alexis Vila was arrested and charged with second degree murder in April. It is alleged that he, along with Ariel Gandulla (another former MMA fighter) and Roberto Isaacs (a fight promoter and trainer), carried out the gruesome murder of Camilo Salazar in Miami, FL in 2011. The man accused of orchestrating the murder, Manuel Marin, was apprehended in Spain on Tuesday.

Spanish outlet El Pais reports that Marin was nabbed by police when he attempted to renew his passport at the American embassy in Madrid.
