Overview
- Basque police and the Juvenile Prosecutor have opened proceedings into a Plentzia teacher’s complaint after youths gathered at her home on Halloween, hurled insults, and threw eggs and lemons.
- Witness accounts differ on crowd size in Plentzia, with reports ranging from about 50 to roughly 100 participants, including teens and some children around 12 years old.
- Several youths have been identified in the Plentzia case as the prosecutor weighs measures, with attention to whether any participants are under 14 and therefore not criminally responsible.
- The Uribe Kosta institute condemned the behavior, suspended excursions and extracurriculars, and noted it previously opened 23 disciplinary files with restorative tasks tied to earlier incidents.
- A 38-year-old educator from a Málaga minors’ center has been detained over three alleged continued sexual assaults against vulnerable children, while in Palma a 65-year-old teacher was convicted and given a six-month sentence, a 3.5-year ban on contact roles with minors, and €1,000 compensation to a victim.
