Fiscalía reclama 25 años de prisión para nueve acusados por intento de homicidio

Spain's prosecutor is seeking 25 years in prison for nine people accused of attempting to kill a city police officer during a pro-Hasél protest in Barcelona. Levante-EMV reported that six of the defendants are Italian nationals. All nine face attempted homicide charges for allegedly setting fire to a police van with an officer inside.
The incident stemmed from demonstrations supporting Hasél, a Spanish rapper whose arrest sparked outrage among supporters. The Hasél case has become a flashpoint in Spain over free speech and police tactics. Protesters clashed with police during the Barcelona rally, leading to the alleged police van attack.
Prosecutors allege the nine defendants participated in setting fire to the police vehicle while an officer was inside. The attempted homicide charge carries a potential sentence of 25 years. Diario de Mallorca confirmed the same charges and defendant count in the case.
The presence of six Italian defendants among the nine accused adds an international dimension to the Barcelona case. The mixed nationality of those charged reflects how activist movements draw participants from across Europe. The case is expected to draw attention both in Spain and internationally given the serious charges involved.
