Evol (sect)

Evol is a sect from Spain, Escatrón (Zaragoza). The sect was established in 2018, locating itself in an isolated and difficult-to-access property.

The leader preached that the outside world was “corrupt” and “sick,” verbally and physically punishing those who tried to maintain contact with society, and was the only one who had the knowledge to create a “new world.

The Civil Guard has dismantled the sect in 2024, with the arrest of four people. The investigation began following several complaints from victims. The victims, mostly women, have suffered attacks, humiliation and threats from the leader.

The guru of the fatalist sect, Igor Plaza, is in provisional detention.
