Fact

Three people detained in Príncipe Alfonso; El Faro writes that the owner was sent to prison

In the early hours of 4 November the Policía Nacional detained three people in a dwelling in Príncipe Alfonso. Interior’s note of 5 November sets 10 migrants located, four of them minors, transfer to the CATE, and a complaint of sexual assault under chemical submission. On 6 November El Faro wrote that the judicial authority sent the owner to pretrial prison and that the other two detainees were released. These are alleged facts. It is not a conviction. The “unos 500 euros al mes” that El Faro attributes to police estimates are not part of the Interior note. This is not the same as the Príncipe operations of 22 and 23 October.

  • In the early hours of 4 November the Policía Nacional detained three people in a dwelling in Príncipe Alfonso. These are alleged facts. It is not a conviction. It is not the operation of 22 October or that of the 23rd.
  • Interior’s note of 5 November: “was hiding 10 migrants, four of them minors, in a dwelling in conditions of extreme overcrowding and precariousness.” It sets the transfer to the CATE. “One of the migrant women has reported having been the victim of sexual assault under chemical submission.”
  • El Faro de Ceuta, 6 November, 08:52: “The judicial authority ordered this Thursday in Ceuta the imprisonment of the owner.” The other two detainees were released. That is what that outlet writes. It is not a judgment.
  • El Faro attributes payments of “unos 500 euros al mes” to “police estimates.” That figure stays outside the Interior note. It is not merged with it.
