• Gender violence Arrested a PSOE councilor in Zaragoza City Hall for allegedly assaulting his wife

  • Sentence Acquitted the socialist councilor of the Zaragoza City Council accused of mistreating his ex-wife

Agents of the

Local Police

arrested last Sunday in Zaragoza

Ignacio Magaña Sierra

, a socialist councilor of the

City Council

of the Aragonese capital, for driving without points.

It is expected that this Tuesday he will be tried for a crime against road safety.

As has been known this Tuesday, the events occurred around 4:50 a.m. on Sunday on the Camino de las Torres in the Aragonese capital when a Local Police patrol stopped him for having committed a traffic violation.

When checking the driver's license with the station, they confirmed that it lacked all the points.

In June 2020, Magaña was already fined 1,900 euros and four points were withdrawn from his license for speeding and without insurance.

The aforementioned councilor had joined the socialist municipal group last October after being acquitted of a case of gender violence against his wife, for which he was arrested on November 11, 2021 and tried.

During the trial, held behind closed doors, Magaña defended his innocence and assured that he had never mistreated his wife and explained that his complaint was solely due to a separation process.

The woman reiterated what she said on her day before the National Police, who came to classify the case as a high risk level in the

Viogen system

.

She confessed that the most serious event and in which she felt "most afraid" would have occurred last winter when she wanted to leave the family home.

As he recounted in the complaint, "Ignacio reacted aggressively by pushing me against the bed, preventing me from moving by grabbing me by the neck. He went to the kitchen, took a knife, putting it to my chest and telling me that on top of his corpse I was going to get out of there."

The mayor was discharged as a PSOE militant, but he did not renounce his minutes and continued his work in plenary sessions and commissions as a non-attached.

Once the court ruling was known, he requested his reincorporation into the ranks of the PSOE, following the guidelines of the party's code of ethics.

After being accepted by the national leadership of the party, the municipal group formally requested her return before the general secretary of the plenary session of the Zaragoza City Council.

In addition to being a councilor, Magaña, a former deputy in Congress, was a member of the

Zaragoza

Provincial Executive and the

Regional Committee

as well as general secretary of the

Torrero-Este de Zaragoza Association

.
