Cops in Essen Walk the Beat, Amid Allegations of Brutal Assault in Mallorca
Amidst allegations of mercilessly battering a taxi driver in Mallorca, police personnel in Essen are still on the job. This unsettling fact has been confirmed by the local police representative.
While refusing to disclose specifics, the rep mentioned that these officers - whether ruling the streets or busy with administrative tasks - are carrying on with their duties. The city of Essen has yet to receive communication from Spanish authorities regarding the matter. Initial reports had suggested a return to work by the allegedly involved officers.
If the accusations against the officers prove to be true, an internal investigation will take place in Essen, the rep stated. The ongoing criminal investigation in Spain continues unabated.
Police Force and the Mallorca Incident
Spanish media reports paint a grim picture of a spat over a lost phone, which escalated into a brutal assault on a 71-year-old Mallorcan taxi driver. The severity of the injuries led to a hospital stay, and there were even allegations of bribery attempts by the officers involved.
Essen police have acknowledged that their colleagues were implicated in the incident. However, they remain undecided as to whether the officers are viewed as witnesses or suspects by Spanish authorities.
Three Strikes From Essen
According to the local newspaper "Ultima Hora," the three suspects in the incident were from Essen, aged 24, 26, and 27. The identity of a fourth individual remains elusive. As per DPA reports, several officers from Essen were holidaying together in Mallorca. At least two of them found themselves implicated as suspects. All were granted permission to return to Germany.
Despite the ongoing internal investigation in Essen, there have been no reports of any physical attacks from the officers involved in the Mallorca incident. However, the gravity of the situation - involving a brutal attack on a 71-year-old taxi driver - has raised concerns over the conduct of the three men from Essen, who are currently under investigation.
