Overview
- The Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Navarra confirmed that the Fiscalía has challenged the Tudela judge’s provisional archive of the case.
- The earlier dismissal followed the minor’s testimony that she was in Lleida voluntarily and had not been coerced to marry or beg.
- A reopened investigation would let Guardia Civil and Mossos present additional indicia related to possible trafficking, forced marriage, sexual assault, and facilitation of mendicity.
- Five people detained earlier—the girl’s parents, a couple in Mollerussa, and their 21-year-old son—were released after the archive, and the minor was returned to her parents following a month in protective care.
- Investigators report an alleged arrangement of €5,000, five bottles of whisky, and food, with both families described as Romanian Roma, and note the girl was identified while begging in Les Borges Blanques after a Guardia Civil alert.
