Native mayor Juana Caballero issued a press release on Monday, announcing: “we will now not allow Palomares del Río to grow to be a refuge for rapists or criminals”.
She said the native govt wouldn’t permit somebody declared “persona non grata” to use public areas and result in concern.
The males are nicknamed after their Whatsapp workforce – titled Los Angeles manada (the wolf pack) – during which they bragged approximately their movements and of the video recordings taken throughout the attack.
They have been acquitted of rape, which below Spanish regulation calls for violence or intimidation to be used. Police stated the victim was once “passive or impartial”, conserving her eyes closed through the attack.
