Trial proposed against officer for death by asphyxiation in Torrejón
A judge has proposed putting a municipal police officer on trial accused of asphyxiating a man of Maghrebi origin in Torrejón, according to reports from Google News ES — Crime (es).
The magistrate considers that there are sufficient indications to hold an oral trial against the officer, who allegedly caused the death of the victim by asphyxiation during an incident in the Madrid municipality.
The case focuses attention on the use of force by local security agents in Spain, in an episode that bears similarities to other incidents recorded in various European countries in recent years.
The proposal for the opening of an oral trial does not imply a conviction, but rather the investigating judge believes that the facts investigated have sufficient characteristics to be submitted to a court. The municipal police officer's defence will have the opportunity to present its arguments during the proceedings.
