Police statement
This morning, there was revelry and surprise during the statement of the two policemen who maintain the accusation of terrorism in the case of the Democratic Tsunami. The head of Central Court number 6 of the National Court, Manuel García Castellón, has summoned them as injured witnesses in order to explain their version of events. However, during the statement, it has been discovered that one of the policemen is being prosecuted in two courts for irregular detentions during the post-sentence protests. This case is very well known, as it is about the boy in the orange sweatshirt who was attacked while sitting on the street in a peaceful attitude. This situation was even investigated by the Constitutional Court because of the torture.
Police investigation
During the police statement, it was made clear that one of the officers is being investigated in two different cases related to the Democratic Tsunami for ill-treatment of detainees. The officer’s lawyer tried to stop the questioning, but the judge decided to continue with the questions. The police refused to answer and admitted that those arrested were supposed organizers of the protests. He was unable to provide information on which court these proceedings are in.
Police injuries
The two police officers have been questioned about the injuries they suffered during the Democratic Tsunami rallies and riots. As they explained, one of the policemen suffered an open fracture of the radius and the other had a mild head trauma. Due to these injuries, the two agents have been removed from the service due to permanent total disability. They have also stated that they are suffering from psychological sequelae and have become emotional during their statement.
conclusion
The statement of the police in the case of the Democratic Tsunami has been surprising and has highlighted the judicial situation in which they find themselves. His statements are key to sustaining the terrorism charge, although the prosecution sees no such crime anywhere. The case remains under investigation and new developments are awaited.
