Altsasu

2020 · 1 season

A tense, sobering courtroom drama that weighs the human cost of a real legal battle, leaving a lingering sense of injustice.

Overview: In the early hours of October 15, 2016, in a bar in Alsasua, Navarre, a fight broke out involving several local youths and two off-duty Civil Guard officers and their partners. The case went to trial. The prosecutor described the events as a terrorist attack and sought prison terms of between 12 and 62 years for the eight defendants. In its ruling, the National Court rejected the terrorism charges but sentenced the young people to between 2 and 13 years in prison.
