The Army informs the Prosecutor's Office of the raffle of a prostitute among soldiers in the El Bruc barracks

This morning, the Spanish Army informed the Prosecutor of the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia of the alleged raffle within a WhatsApp group of soldiers from the El Bruc barracks (Barcelona) in which the prize was the services of a prostitute , as confirmed to La Vanguardia by military sources.

As published yesterday by Diario Ara, a sergeant and a corporal from the Army proposed to the rest of the participants in a WhatsApp chat -about 70 soldiers- to participate in a raffle to spend time with a prostitute on December 8, the day of the purest.
