- The Agency of Activities will enforce two consecutive six-month shutdowns to complete the one-year penalty.
- Police inspections in December 2022 and February 2023 found roughly 1,500 people inside against a licensed limit of 990, classified as a serious safety violation.
- The nightlife coalition Plataforma por el Ocio condemned the action, alleged pressure from the Urban Planning department, and vowed further legal challenges and a stepped-up information campaign.
