An agent of the Local Police of Laguna will be judged next week in the Court of Santa Cruz de Tenerife accused of falsifying a traffic fine, facts for which the prosecutor asks for a sentence of four years in prison and professional disqualification for three years.
As stated in the qualification document, the policeman filled out a complaint in his own handwriting sanctioning an individual with a 200-euro fine for improperly parking a vehicle on a pedestrian crossing.
It so happens that this vehicle did not actually belong to the person reported, despite which the agent, “without carrying out any verification”, filled out the complaint form taking the personal data of the vehicle from another fine that had been previously issued for leaving a vehicle parked incorrectly. motorcycle.
The prosecutor maintains that the policeman acted “with a clear intention of both lacking the truth and harming” this individual.
The facts are for the prosecutor’s office constitutive of a crime of falsehood in a public document committed by a public official in the exercise of his functions.
In addition to the prison sentence and professional disqualification, he asks for an 11-euro fine for the defendant with a daily fee of 8 euros.
