The report of Andalusian parquet Last year, it was reported that all units of the said community department “showed an increase in the number of menas – unaccompanied foreign minors, unaccompanied migrant children – who entered the national territory.”
In the case of Seville, the tone is the same. Thus, last year, the prosecutor’s office of the Andalusian capital registered “an avalanche of age determination files and review of the declaration of majority files,” the same document indicates.
The case of Seville is not isolated. In Granada last year there were 144 cases compared to 37 in 2022. In addition, there are up to 175 minors under guardianship by the Government of Andalusia.
“Almeria speaks of 224 cases, with one repatriation, Jaen 27 files“, details the prosecution report.
The case of Seville, as we have seen, is more specific. The report of the public prosecutor indicates that They have a large number of cases minors who must determine their age. Why? Because justice must know clearly whether those who arrive in Spain are minors or not.
Minors
Because if they are under 18, they have the right to be taken in by the State since they are children. But if they are older, cope with other conditions typical of adults.
Beyond the issue of immigration, the report of the public prosecutor’s office taking stock of the last year indicates a general increase in proceedings before the Community courts. This is the case for previous proceedings, which increased by nine percent. Also minor crimes, which are experiencing “a sharp increase” in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
In this case “sAnd 15,688 started in 2023 compared to 14,682 in 2022, 14,790 in 2021 compared to 11,124 in 2020,” the report specifies.
There has also been a notable increase in precautionary measures, which have been adopted in Seville and Dos Hermanas from 426 in 2022 to 452 in 2023. The same goes for trials held before the investigating courts, which also increased from just over 8,000 to almost 8,600 last year.
Minor offences
Therefore, last year there was also a noticeable increase in sentences for minor offences. There were nearly 3,500 while last year they remained at 2,845. “In criminal courts, they went from 7,901 in 2022 to 6,378 in 2023,” the report said.
The same document underlines that the role of compliances in the procedures for less serious crimes is “significant, for an additional year.” If we add those dictated urgentlythe total arithmetic sum of strict conformities amounts to 8,515, and adding the conformities without conformity, to 8,798, out of a total of 10,115 sentences. issued for less serious crimes. And in the Court, this number has increased from 351 the previous year to 338 in 2023.
Separate chapter for crimes against life and integrity. Assaults and others represent a significant decrease in provinces such as Almeria, where they have fallen by 33 percent in just one year. Something curious, highlights the documentsince in the said province “every year the number of homicides and murders is high, and it is usual that their perpetrators are identified, arrested and prosecuted.”
And in Seville? “No significant changes are recorded, although in terms of injuries there is a reduction in records, which breaks the uninterrupted upward line since 2020.”
“Frustration”
Furthermore, prosecutors point out that in Seville, “the etiology of these crimes, as with crimes against life, the low threshold of resistance to crime appears as a predominant conditioning factor.” frustrationas well as the aggressor’s deficit in personal strategies for managing conflict, combined with aggressive personality patterns.
In other words: attacks and attempts on the lives of others are due, to a large extent, to impulsiveness of certain elements of society who find no other way to resolve their conflicts.
There are, however, crimes that remain very low in Seville. Although they are also among the most serious. Therefore, last year Up to three cases of torture have been recorded in the province.
