Overview

  • The Criminal Court No. 2 in Ferrol concluded Monday’s hearing and left the case for judgment after closing arguments.
  • The prosecution attributes five offenses to Alfredo Sánchez Chacón, including robbery with violence and resisting an officer during his 2021–2022 flight, and requests nearly ten years in prison.
  • Chacón rejected a plea offer of three years and eight months and told the court he entered homes for food and shelter because he was cold and hungry.
  • Witnesses, including a Guardia Civil agent, testified about a garage confrontation involving a stick and two warning shots before his detention in Valdoviño.
  • The 66-year-old ultimately represented himself after the judge refused to replace his court-appointed lawyer, following earlier trial postponements over missing witnesses and a public defenders’ strike.
