Dozens of people who hired them to arrange flights, accommodation, transportation, and excursions to their holiday destinations were left high and dry. The trips were either never booked or were canceled as soon as the victims had paid the intermediaries. Sometimes the holidays did exist, but under very different conditions than those agreed upon, as happened to a group of retirees who were expecting a cruise through the Greek islands and found themselves living in squalid conditions in a hostel.</p>]]></description>

He was "destitute." He owned only a used box with several pieces of linen and wool cloth, a pepper-colored garment (a dark green garment), a used bodysuit, and several small pots of concoctions and sauces. In 1562, Guillem Parllebí was sentenced to the galleys (there is a rather explicit drawing) for sodomy with a cow. The accused, according to the sentence, had his underpants soaked. He defended himself by saying that he was embracing the cow to masturbate her. <a href="https://arxiusenlinia.cultura.gencat.cat/#/cercabasica/detallunitat/ACVOC90-47-T2-7713"  rel="nofollow">In 1618, there was a trial against Guillem Pujol, of French origin, Joana Casteta, a widow and exile, and Joana Teixidora.</a> The two women were accused of conspiring and paying Pujol to kill Teixidora's husband. As in most trials, the women came out looking bad. Casteta was accused of being a widow, a woman of ill repute, and of living dishonestly. The truth is that Teixidora's husband abused her. </p>]]></description>
