• Events 76% of detainees in Barcelona by the Guardia Urbana are foreigners

An agent of the Guardia Urbana of Barcelona was arrested by her own colleagues accused of allowing sexual harassment of her partner to a group of women in a nightclub in Barcelona. The early hours of Wednesday to Thursday the suspect and her partner were in a local entertainment in the city and he posed as a police to make several girls leave the establishment and search them at the door of the same.

Allegedly, at that time he committed the abuses by performing obscene touching over clothes. Several witnesses saw the suspicious attitude of the man and that he was accompanied by a woman so they notified a patrol of the Urban Guard that arrested him for the crimes of usurpation of functions, sexual assault and coercion. In addition, the agents identified his companion, as 'El Caso' advanced.

The next day, when checking the interventions of the night, those responsible for the Urban Guard discovered that the identified woman was an agent. On suspicion that she could cover up for her partner, she was arrested for the crimes of omission of the duty of relief and degrading treatment. The Mossos d'Esquadra took charge of the investigation and transferred the suspects before the judge on duty who released them with charges.
