A Spanish judge says a man arrested on suspicion of supplying arms used in an attack on a Paris kosher supermarket should be returned to France to face charges.

The judge said in an order issued today that Frenchman Antoine Denevi will be returned to his country within 10 days to face charges of trafficking in arms and explosives and membership in a criminal organization.

Denevi was arrested last week in the southern Spanish beach town of Rincon de la Victoria. In an appearance in Madrid's National Court, he denied selling weapons to attackers.

Spain's Interior Ministry said Denevi left France for Spain after the January 2015 attack.
 

The ministry had spelled his last name Denive but the judge in court documents gave it as Denevi.
