A judge charges two police officers involved in the arrest of Nacho Cano for coercion

The case of Nacho Cano is making headlines again. More specifically, two police officers who were involved in the arrest of the music producer. Let's remember that Cano was arrested last July for alleged irregularities in the hiring of interns for the musical Malinche.

The two mentioned police officers have been charged by the Investigating Judge number 38 of Madrid for an alleged crime of coercion. Therefore, they must appear before the magistrate on February 27.

The summons is related to the complaint filed by the students against the officers from the Leganitos Street police station in Madrid. They accuse them of conducting surveillance during the process of summoning them as witnesses.

On July 8, the students filed the complaint against the police, pointing out alleged crimes of "coercion, threats, document falsification, and illegal detention." These events allegedly occurred on June 27, while the police were taking their statements. According to the students' lawyers, the officers had conducted an investigation on them for six months without informing the judge or having judicial supervision.

Nacho Cano's Interns

The Mexican students who were interns in the musical Malinche, produced by Nacho Cano, have returned to Mexico without having appeared before the judge as witnesses. According to sources close to Europa Press, "they completed their training period as planned and are now preparing for the premiere of Malinche in Mexico early next year."

These same sources indicated that the interns were "willing and available" to testify in defense of Nacho Cano until the day of their departure. However, the testimony, scheduled for August 29 in the Investigating Court number 19 of Madrid, was suspended. The summons was related to alleged irregularities in their visas, but the appearance was canceled the previous week.

In an appeal, it was requested that the statements be made before the students' return to Mexico, scheduled for September 1.

It was also reported that the students filed a new complaint against the officers from the Leganitos Street police station in Madrid. They were accused of conducting surveillance during the process of summoning them as witnesses. In the complaint, they also requested a restraining order against the involved police officers.

It should be remembered that on July 8, the students had already reported these officers for "coercion, threats, document falsification, and illegal detention."

According to them, these events occurred on June 27 while the police were taking their statements. The students allege that the officers investigated them for six months "without informing the judge or submitting to judicial supervision," continuing these practices even after the case was brought to court.

The Investigating Court number 19 of Madrid opened preliminary proceedings on July 30. This was to investigate alleged crimes against the rights of foreign citizens and workers' rights.
