Barcelona Police Torture Case Dismissed

The Barcelona Prosecutor's Office has closed the first complaint regarding torture allegedly committed by police officers at the Via Laietana police station during the Franco and early transition periods. The investigation centered on activist Blanca Serra’s claims of abuse, but prosecutors determined they couldn't identify the perpetrators due to a lack of evidence. This decision raises concerns about accountability for past human rights violations within the Spanish police force.
