Prosecutor's Office changes the accusation to a defendant for protests by Hasel after contradictions of mossos

The court accepts as evidence the location of the defendant's mobile, which contradicts the prosecution

BARCELONA, Nov. 24 (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Prosecutor's Office has modified this Thursday the account of the facts of its accusation of a protester prosecuted for alleged disorders in a protest for the imprisonment of rapper Pablo Hasel in February 2021 after the mossos d'esquadra who have testified in the trial have explained in a contradictory way what happened that day.

Section 10 of the Court of Barcelona has admitted at the beginning of the trial as evidence for the defense the Google Maps record of the defendant, which shows the route he took that day and which contradicts both the original accusation of the Prosecutor's Office and the version that they have given the mossos

Initially, the prosecutor maintained that the boy participated in a demonstration that had begun in Via Laietana towards Urquinaona square, but the location of the defendant's mobile phone and the poster calling for the protest place the beginning in Universitat square.

At the end of the trial and given the evidence that has been provided, the prosecutor has admitted the contradictions between the agents and has changed the exposition of her indictment, but still accuses the young man of disorder by allegedly crossing a container in the middle of the asphalt .

The defendant has answered the interrogations of his lawyer and the prosecutor to tell that he went to the demonstration with two friends: he has said that it was a protest with a "calm and peaceful tone" until a group outside the protest began to cause riots and looting premises on Paseo de Gràcia.

He explained that then they decided to leave and when they were going to the Metro three riot vans approached, from which about twenty agents got out, and one stopped him.

The young man has denied that he caused altercations and both he and the two friends he was with - defense witnesses in the trial and who have agreed with his version - have said that they did not see barricades or any other incidents other than those related to the group that looted.

The first mosso to testify was the head of the unit that arrested the boy and has said that he saw him form part of a group that made barricades on the Rambla Catalunya, specifically that he saw him move a container, although he has not been able to clarify what color he was, but that he did not see him burn anything or throw objects at the police.

At the end of his statement, this mosso has acknowledged to questions from the defense that he has erroneously explained the route that the demonstration took by placing it starting in Urquinaona square.

Regarding the container that the defendant supposedly moved, the defense lawyer has remarked that in the case there is no report of damage to any container or any claim from the City Council for these damages.

The second police officer who has testified has said that "individually he did not" see what the defendant did, but he placed him in the middle of a group that was throwing objects at the agents, and has said that he helped to arrest him because he saw that his superior was trying to arrest him. .

The third mosso who has declared investigated the report and has said that they looked for images of the altercations where the accused appeared but there are none in the summary.
