Starting this Monday, the Court of Barcelona judges the businessman and aristocrat Álvaro de Marichalar accused of an alleged crime of resistance to the Mossos d'Esquadra during a pro-independence demonstration in Plaza Sant Jaume in Barcelona on October 26, 2017.
The Prosecutor's Office asks for him a sentence of nine months in prison and in the indictment, consulted by Europa Press, states that the Mossos tried to separate him from the concentration because he was carrying a banner and a Spanish flag in a pro-independence protest, which he did that some protesters were "exalted" and rebuked him.
When they tried to accompany him into the Palau de la Generalitat, Marichalar, "denying the Mossos d'Esquadra agents as police officers at all times, refused to enter, having to drag him inside."
Once inside the Generalitat "he refused to stay inside, coming to face the agents" and struggling with them.
The police tried to take him to a room of the Generalitat and he "hit himself with the door frame and began to move his whole body while being very upset", before which the Mossos had to reduce him and handcuff him.
