The Ertzainas who intervened in Sestao after other agents allegedly attacked two people did not activate the cameras
Security Counselor Bingen Zupiria has stressed that keeping the device unactivated would lead to non-compliance with regulations.
A woman reported being assaulted in the early morning hours of 21 to 22 February in Sestao by several plainclothes Ertzainas, Security Counselor A Bingen Zupiriexplained that the uniformed Ertzainas who came to the scene did not have the body cameras they were wearing activated, according to the first checks on the case, warning that if confirmed, the regulations would be violated .
Zupiria appeared before the Security Committee of the Basque Parliament on Wednesday to report on the incident, which was reported by the Ertzaintza on 25 February following a complaint filed by a woman, one of those arrested that night in Sestao.
The Counsellor recalled that the Justice and the Internal Affairs Headquarters of the Ertzaintza have opened an investigation and are gathering "all necessary information" .
According to Zupiria, inthe context of the Carnival celebrations, the two Ertzainas in civilian clothes and in a car without police badges "engaged in an altercation with the villagers and used force" against two individuals who had collided with the vehicle in which the Ertzainas were travelling.
Threepersons were subsequently arrested for an alleged crime of assault against an officer of the authority: the woman who reported the police action, her son and a friend. Before being transferred to the police station, the detainees were taken to a health centre, one of whom was admitted to the hospital for injuries to a barrabil.
The Ertzaintza, after reviewing the images collected by security cameras in the area, placed the investigation at the disposal of the Internal Affairs Headquarters for detecting possible irregularities.
In the investigation, which is still open, it has been concluded that the uniformed patrol who came to the scene after the confrontation between plainclothes officers and these three persons did not activate the body cameras. Zupiria has stressed that, if this were verified, the regulations would be violated, while in the case of plainclothes officers they did not have cameras, since in such cases it is not mandatory.
