• Controversy The inspector who detained and attacked graffiti artists outside the Metro facilities is relieved of his post

The service inspector of the Segurisa company, who was relieved of his position for intimidating and assaulting graffiti artists and homeless people, also made false reports about his actions or about the workers of other security companies, according to those affected.

The Police is investigating the actions of this inspector after the reports and complaints received and Metro asked the Segurisa company on Wednesday to be dismissed.

This company is subcontracted by Metro

to monitor its warehouses at night

and prevent graffiti artists from sneaking in to paint.

In 2018, the Security Dogs company also began to be part of the surveillance team with its canine guides.

This group stops the graffiti artists

by means of dogs that pounce on them

and reduce them, but without injuring them because they wear an impact muzzle specially designed to avoid causing damage.

Since the arrival of the dogs, graffiti artists' late-night entries into warehouses have dropped dramatically.

However, according to the employees, the dismissed inspector inflated the actions of the graffiti artists to justify their work before Metro or made

illegal arrests of people

who had not committed any criminal act and were simply on public roads in the warehouse area .

In addition, he coerced the guards into putting what he wanted in the reports, under the threat of firing them if they did not share his methods.

"Before the guards write their own report, he sends them a template

so they can put what he says

," says a letter that some workers delivered to the company.

The inspector also stole the spray cans from the graffiti artists, when it is a power that only the Security Forces have.

Sometimes he kept those cans

to incriminate other graffiti artists.

Other victims of JAR's actions have been the employees of the Security Dogs company, for whom it made life impossible.

“The inspector and his superiors used mafia tactics to discredit us.

They made false reports to us every two times three so that we would be sanctioned.

It was a harassment and demolition.

What they were doing is very serious.

You can't hit some kids because they're carrying paint cans

.

Any day they kill one, "criticizes a worker.

According to the testimonies collected by this newspaper, it was common among the managers of the night team of the Segurisa company to speak of

"going out to hunt the rats"

, in reference to the graffiti artists.

However, some believe that the inspector who has been dismissed is not the only one who should have been dismissed, since the thinking head of the operation is the head of the OL service.

In the videos broadcast on social networks, it is seen how the inspector

hits a homeless man

who was on the ground several times and how another commander threatens two young people who were in a park.
