Spanish police have arrested a Frenchman suspected of supplying the arms used by an Islamist militant to kill four people at a kosher supermarket and a policewoman in Paris in January 2015, Spain's interior ministry said on Wednesday.

Antoine Denive, a 27-year-old from Sainte Catherine in France, was arrested on Tuesday on a European arrest warrant in Rincon de la Victoria, a town close to Malaga on Spain's southern coast, the ministry said in a statement.

Two other men, from Serbia and Montenegro, linked to arms trafficking were also arrested during the raid, which was coordinated by French police, the ministry said.
