Catalan police continue the operation against the Blocus movement and looting in Barcelona. Most recently, they detained an 18-year-old woman who, according to investigators, actively coordinated mobilizations on social networks. She administered groups created to spread calls for gatherings. El Mundo ↗
A court previously remanded in custody a man described as the ideologue of Blocus. The judge sees in his case indications of conspiracy to incite public disorder and suspicion of membership in a criminal group. El Pais ↗
The Mossos d'Esquadra operation has so far resulted in ten detentions and the identification of approximately 2,300 people. The Catalan government denied that the police action was based on ethnic grounds. However, the CUP party is demanding an explanation from Interior Minister Núria Parlon and is drawing attention to alleged racial profiling during the operations. El Mundo ↗
In connection with calls for violent actions, police confiscated weapons and balaclavas. In central Barcelona, they introduced preventive checks, closed some metro entrances and restricted movement. Security measures also applied to the area around the American embassy.
In the broader framework of the investigation, 89 minors detained after the unrest also face judicial consequences. Their parents may be held responsible for paying for the damage caused. Police and the judiciary thus continue to investigate the organizers, participants and extent of the violence. El Pais ↗
