A hundred tourists arrived in Barcelona last Tuesday night on a date as significant as Sant Jordi. They went to the hotel they had booked, the Standbyme, next to La Boqueria Market, through the Booking platform. But the reservation did not appear anywhere. One of the receptionists at this central hotel in the Catalan capital, Josefina, explained in statements to Efe that on Tuesday, around 8 p.m., they lost access to their Booking profile, coinciding with the massive arrival of people supposedly with reservations to stay in their rooms. The affected parties speak of a digital scam.

The man that the Mossos d'Esquadra were looking for as the alleged perpetrator of the fatal stabbing of a man in the Sant Genís dels Agudells neighborhood, in the Horta-Guinardó district, has turned himself in to the police, as ARA has been able to learn. The crime took place on Saturday night, as part of a neighborhood party that ended with a fight between some of the attendees. One of them, according to the police's reconstruction of events and testimonies, went to his home and returned with a baseball bat and a bladed weapon.

Sant Genís dels Agudells was celebrating a community day this Saturday. The residents of this neighborhood near the Vall d'Hebron Hospital in Barcelona enjoyed a market organized by the merchants' association, with food trucks and activities. At night, to conclude the evening, they hired some DJs who were supposed to play until 11 p.m., as explained by the Residents' Association. Around 10:30 p.m., however, in Plaça de Meguidó, right where the concerts were with numerous attendees, a fight broke out that ended with a fatality.

The Mossos d'Esquadra are investigating the discovery of a body floating in the La Baells reservoir, in the Berguedà region. This Wednesday morning, a witness thought they saw a wrapped body floating in the water and called the emergency number 112. The Catalan police went to the reservoir and confirmed it was a lifeless body, as reported by Regió 7 and confirmed by ARA.

The contact is quick and you have to be attentive not to miss anything. One guy approaches another and they exchange a few words. Sitting on a terrace to disguise himself and at a prudent distance, it's impossible to know what they're saying, but it can be interpreted. One gives some coins to the other. At that moment, the seller takes something out of his pocket and hands over, one by one, small things, as if they were coins, to the buyer's hands. The customer has already paid and after this exchange they separate with the satisfaction of having done it quickly, without anyone having seen them. But some plainclothes police officers appear and arrest them. The buyer is carrying several Lyrica pills in his pocket. The seller ends up arrested for a crime against public health.

The objective was to kill him. Three people walked up to a man who was on a terrace with his wife and his son, who was resting in a stroller. Suddenly, they opened fire with a pistol. Neighbors heard five shots. One of the bullets hit him in the neck. A ricocheting bullet grazed a pedestrian passing on the other side of the street, although it did not cause serious injuries. The woman and the child were unharmed. Afterward, when the target of the attack was already lying on the ground, badly wounded, they also attacked him with a bladed weapon. Once they finished the attempted execution, they fled, also on foot, in the direction of the sea.

A few hours after the jailing of Pepe, the man in a wheelchair who killed another when he tried to rob him, some neighbors of the Bon Pastor neighborhood in Barcelona claimed that he should be released and justified that he had only defended himself. Pending the investigation's progress to clarify what exactly happened, legal experts consulted by ARA agree on the complexity of applying the criminal figure of self-defense, which can eliminate all responsibility in a homicide. "Whether Pepe acted in self-defense or not will be the star topic of the trial, which will be held with a popular jury," anticipates criminal lawyer Olga Arderiu.

Watches are often a top target for thieves, especially specialized pickpockets who can tell an original Rolex from a fake just by looking at it. In fact, watches are the fifth most stolen item in Barcelona. Robberies with violence and intimidation of these accessories –usually because a tug on the strap is already considered violence– represent 8.8% of the total registered in the city. Last year, there were more than a thousand in the Catalan capital, almost three every day. A recent robbery perfectly demonstrates the modus operandi used by thieves.

The Bon Pastor neighborhood of Barcelona is still in shock over a crime that shook the community five days ago. En Pepe, a man with mobility and respiratory problems, allegedly stabbed a young man who had stolen a chain from him, and the thief ended up dying. The man has already been taken into provisional prison, a judicial decision that has outraged part of the neighborhood, which justifies it as self-defense and denounces that En Pepe is in a delicate state of health.
