On January 31, a couple of photojournalists went to the vicinity of Kosmos, Gerard Piqué's company. They wanted to confirm that he had returned from his recent trip to Miami, because with the Kings League Americas about to start in Mexico, his destiny could continue on the other side of the Atlantic. They were lucky: Piqué left the Kosmos facilities with the company's CEO and Ibai Llanos, his better half in the Kings League, and returned after a few minutes. Jordi Matín arrived a while later and sat with his teammates in a nearby cafeteria. When he went out to renew the blue zone ticket he encountered three Mossos d'Esquadra crews who intercepted him. This is his story:
“There were eight agents because another couple boarded Kosmos. They told me that a woman had called them because she was harassing her, that she had followed her from her house to work. And it wasn't true. She had just arrived at the cafeteria.” Jordi knew at that same moment that the anonymous lady had to be Clara Chía: Piqué's partner and the paparazzi already have a long history of disagreements between them. “For an hour I was surrounded by police, to whom I gave my documentation and told them that if I was not detained it had to stop now because if not, they were holding me irregularly. “They summoned me to testify at the Les Corts police station last Friday.”
At 9 a.m. on February 2, Jordi Martín was read the complaint filed by Clara Chía for an alleged crime of harassment. The photographer requested the assistance of his lawyer, Javier Benito, and signed the notification. This new encounter with Piqué's girlfriend coincides almost in time with news that has surely caused him displeasure: last September the restraining measure against the photographer imposed in June fell and although Chía requested to extend it, the Ministry The Prosecutor opposed this, so the head of the Investigative Court No. 6 agreed not to extend it. Well, this February 3, it was the Investigative Court No. 31 that rejected a new restraining order against the photographer.
“Twice the court has told him that there are no reasons to issue a restraining order against me. Now I am the one who is weighing the possibility of filing a complaint against Mrs. Clara Chía for harassment, for preventing me from doing my job and for loss of earnings, that is, not having been able to work not only on the morning of February 31 and February 2 , but also on day 1: until I saw what was happening at the police station appointment, I didn't want to risk taking photos.”
