Of these, 35 were dismissed, 15 are currently being processed and 5 are awaiting a court decision. In a further 3 cases, disciplinary proceedings have begun. In one case, in which an officer is alleged to have punched a prisoner in the mouth, causing him to swallow a tooth, action has been suspended until judicial proceedings related to the same incident have been resolved in a magistrates’ court [juzgado de instrucción]. Of the other two, one case involved an argument between an inmate and an officer, in which the latter took the former to solitary confinement, where he conducted a full body search and allegedly punched him. In the other case, a sports monitor allegedly assaulted an inmate because he had another monitor’s keys. As a result, he was provisionally suspended from duty for nearly 6 months.   THE OMBUDSMAN OF SPAIN
