The Prosecutor's Office appeals to the new Law of Historical Memory to request that torture of Francoism in Barcelona be investigated

For the first time, the Prosecutor's Office has asked a court to investigate the torture of the Francoist police. It has done so with the argument that the new Law of Historical Memory allows to study denunciations committed during the dictatorship. The Court of Instruction 18 of Barcelona must decide whether or not to admit the complaint and initiate an investigation. A court in Madrid admitted a few months ago the complaint of a man who denounced torture in the General Directorate of Security in 1975. The Generalitat already announced that it supported the court investigating these crimes.
