The Military Chamber of the Supreme Court (TS) has sentenced a captain of the Civil Guard to two months of suspension for having harassed an official who works for that body in the airport Tenerife Southfor not having put the ‘gift’ in a letter that was addressed to another member of the Benemérita.
The then lieutenant, when he saw that this treatment was not included in the letter, began to yell at the woman phrases like: “What did you think? That she was nobody to take away the gift of a member of the Civil Guard”.
At that time, the complainant tried to explain that it was a typographical error and that she had no intention of denigrating anyone, despite which the command continued to yell at her, “that she was nothing in that department and that he was going to put her in her place”, according to the sentence.
The official began to cry and went outside the offices, at which time a first sergeant was able to hear the sentences of the now convicted man, while the woman took refuge in a corner.
Despite this, the commander continued to shout from his office phrases like “You are not the one to take away their treatment from anyone and here my c…. ”.
Months before, while another member of the force was changing in the locker room, he heard that the now-suspended man addressed the official when they both worked in the same section of the airport, “in an exacerbated tone, with phrases of the type that he did not know how to add, that the sums were not well done and if I had not gone to school as a child ”.
This witness was able to see how the official left the office crying again.
Almost a year later, the lieutenant entered the complainant’s office and threw a folder with documentation on the table, at which time the woman asked him if there was any kind of measure for her regarding the pandemic that had been declared at that time.
The then lieutenant’s response was: “I don’t have to give you anything; The material is exclusively for Civil Guard personnel and as far as I know you are not a Civil Guard, so it is none of my business what you need or stop needing”.
The complainant He replied that he did not want to take anything away from this body if he did not want to know if she was going to be taken into account for any measure that was taken at the southern airport, where they both worked, once the pandemic had been declared.
At that moment, the condemned man touched his genitals and said something like “I’m sweating… do what you think is convenient so I’ll know what I have to do, so be careful.”
Due to her state of anxiety, the official went to the San Isidro health center, where she was given medical leave. At that time, she was suffering from certain physical ailments and she was concerned about her father’s state of health.
After the complaint filed and the imposition of a serious disciplinary sanction with two months of suspension of employment, the command filed the appeal before the Supreme Court, which has now ratified the initial ruling in a sentence in which reference is made to various jurisprudence.
At the same time, all the defendant’s arguments are discarded and it is concluded that the facts have been demonstrated by the statements of several witnesses, so that the corresponding sanction must be imposed for being the author of a crime of serious harassment.
