The judge, who will begin to take statements from the accused in November, allows their departure after the payment of 6,000 euros
The Court of Instruction number 7 of Murcia continues with the investigation into the gang accused of looting up to twenty churches in Murcia and Alicante. As THE TRUTH has learned, the investigating magistrate will begin to take statements from the main defendants at the end of November.
Meanwhile, the judge has accepted the request made by the defense of one of the alleged ringleaders of the network and has agreed to his provisional release on bail of 6,000 euros. Juan Pablo O., whom the Police point to as one of the alleged leaders of the group, must also appear before the court on the 1st and 15th of each month.
In his order, the magistrate maintains that the range of assaults that are attributed to this group is very wide – plundering of churches, mainly in districts of Murcia, but also in Cartagena, Molina de Segura, Pliego, Mula and other points outside of the Region–, but it opens the door for the number to be even higher. “It is more than predictable – he advances – that a high number of new reports will accumulate in the cause, although with the uncertainty of when”. Given this situation, he explains, he considers “disproportionate” the maintenance of the provisional prison measure without an approximate date for the closure of the police investigation.
The investigators have demanded that the instructor request reports from the telephone companies, through their mobile phones, to try to place the defendants at the scene of the robberies.
