Almeria judge has sentenced a man who was accused of attacking six officers of Civil Guard and two of Local Police of Roquetas de Mar in Almeria to 21 months imprisonment during his arrest. This occurred after he attacked a child and his mom in front of Los Bajo park in the city.
Europa Press has been informed by legal sources that the accused accepted the sentence for a crime against attack. He also received a month’s imprisonment at six euros per day for each one of the ten minor offenses investigated by the Almeria Prosecutor’s Office. The civil responsibilities have also been paid. The sentence and fine were reduced by his expulsion from the country and interdiction of entry for five year.
The defendant is a native of Mauritania, in an irregular country situation, and has admitted to the events that occurred on June 1, in the park Los Bajo de Roquetas de Mar. He grabbed the minor and threw the latter to the ground “without mediating any reasons”.

The “struggle” with all the agents caused many material damages. He slightly injured six Civil Guard agents as well as two Local Police agents. These bruises took several days to heal.
Several agents were legally assisted by the Unified Association of the Civil Guards (AUGC), where the “resistance”, with which the detainee had acted against the agents’ actions was pointed out. The agents managed to reduce him after he was “physically exhausted”.
According to the association, attacks on State Security Forces and Bodies were frequent and the penalties for this crime of attempt are light. This causes the principle of authority to be lost. Since this type of attack is “multiplying on these dates with an increase in the number of people in summer>>,
They have asked the AUGC for more defense material to address this situation. This includes “taser pistols and bulletproof vests for all workers” as well as “not just for half”.
