The Spanish Ministry of the Interior will dismiss the newly appointed Provincial Commissioner of Lleida, Antonio Royo Subías, as soon as it becomes known that in 1999 he was convicted in the Basque Country of sexually harassing an agent in his charge. 

This has been reported from the department headed by Fernando Grande-Marlaka, confirmed by the newspaper Segre on Monday and clarified that the dismissal will be immediate. 

According to this information, Commissioner  was then Chief Inspector in Donostia-San Sebastián, was running a Police Intervention Unit (IPU), and, as the Gipuzkoa High Court found proven and confirmed by the Supreme Court, "from the moment he started working" he began to ask the victim, an officer under his command, to "have sex with him."

" ," said the court ruling, "would have obtained the woman's daily subsistence allowance, days of rest, leave, and ease of promotion, but" on the contrary, he told her that he would become an enemy, "which would have led him to" worse services. " 

The hearing includes other events, such as a punch in the ass from the commissioner to the officer during a lunch in Pamplona with other police officers. 

The court found sexual harassment proven and sentenced Royo to a fine of 1,080 euros and to compensate the harassed officer with 3,000 euros.

Royo took office as provincial commissioner of Lleida on December 9.
