Barcelona PP Leader Says Coat Was Stolen During Security Video Near City Hall

He uses the episode to press officials to revive a stalled recidivism law.

Overview

  • Daniel Sirera reported that a coat he left for about a minute on a car mirror near Plaça Sant Miquel disappeared as he prepared to record a video about local crime.
  • He posted Instagram footage showing a woman walking away carrying a coat that appears to be his, which he says contained his motorcycle keys.
  • He stated he was about two meters from the spot when the coat was taken and acknowledged a lapse in watching his belongings.
  • Sirera urged Mayor Jaume Collboni, Catalan president Salvador Illa and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to move forward with the 'ley de multirreincidencia', which he says has been frozen for over a year.
  • He described the incident as his second theft in roughly a month, after reporting on August 8 that his motorcycle had been forced and his glasses stolen, and no arrests or official outcomes have been reported in the new case.
