The Provincial Prosecutor’s Office of Santa Cruz de Tenerife requests a sentence of seven years and nine months in prison for a man for drug trafficking and for assaulting two Civil Guard agents in La Orotava and fleeing.
The qualification brief, collected by Europa Press, indicates that the defendant – with a one-year sentence for attacking the authority that was suspended – suffered a search of his car by two Civil Guard agents in the parking lot of a gas station in La Orotava in which 2,335 euros in small bills were found, separated into 665 euros, and another 1,670 euros in a backpack, which also contained a glasses case where he hid 21 plastic bags with 11.34 grams of cocaine with a 40% purity.
At that moment the man, very nervous, shouted at them “you are dead and your children too” and violently attacked them, punching and kicking them, to the point that he grabbed one of them by the neck and dropped his weapon.
Faced with this situation, and given that the accused had taken the weapon, the other agent intervened, pointing it directly at the man so that he would leave it on the ground, at which point he was able to take the backpack and flee, throwing several stones at the agents.
Due to the aggression, one of the agents suffered injuries and sequelae for more than seven months.
Apart from money and drugs, inside the vehicle the accused carried two knives, an extendable baton-defense and a notebook with handwritten notes.
The Prosecutor’s Office considers that the facts constitute crimes against public health, attacks on law enforcement officers and injuries and also requests disqualification for passive suffrage, a fine of 1,362 euros and another for three months at a rate of ten euros a day. .
The trial is held next Monday, at 09:30 am, in the second section of the Provincial Court.
