• Covid The Municipal Police of Madrid investigates the party without masks at the Barceló Theater

The investigation of the Municipal Police in the Barceló Theater, after the images of young people without a mask and not complying with the regulations on January 21, continues its course and is in its final stretch.

This was pointed out this Thursday by the spokesperson for the Madrid City Council, Inmaculada Sanz, who indicated that "the people who were inside have already been identified" thanks to the videos that have circulated on social networks and the media. ".

Now, this group of young people will face fines that

could amount to up to 2,000 euros

by accumulating various offenses: failing to comply with health regulations for locals, not wearing a mask ... According to sources from the Emergency and Security Area, the minimum penalties will be of 600 euros and could amount up to the amount previously mentioned.

"The investigation is nearing completion and the facts are quite clear, but

the investigation is ongoing and all the possibilities

and possible sanctions to be adopted

are still open

," said the also delegate of Security and Emergencies when asked about the possibility that the closure of the Barceló Theater may be decreed.

A situation that would correspond to the Activities Agency, dependent on the Urban Planning Area following the Law of Public Shows (Lepar) of the Community of Madrid.

This regulation establishes the possible closure of leisure establishments whenever a serious or very serious offense occurs, being the suspension of up to two years in the event that the premises have incurred repeated sanctions.

The delegate has detailed, however, that "there are no" more complaints in leisure or restaurant venues for this type of party since most of the infractions occur in illegal precincts, industrial warehouses or inside homes, as already EL MUNDO reported this Thursday.

"I believe that the work of the Municipal Police during this state of alarm and throughout the pandemic is indisputable," said Sanz.

In fact, the Municipal Police has already imposed since last October 25, when this second State of alarm began,

some 60,000 sanctions for breaching the regulations in force in the city of Madrid.

As detailed by the municipal spokesperson, 6,618 have been imposed for consuming alcohol on public roads;

11,541, for not wearing a mask;

6,939, for meetings of more than six people;

4,400 private parties have been detected, 438 last weekend;

545, due to non-compliance with schedules in premises;
