Council Member Admits Minor Offense Over Theft at Local Pharmacy

In Zaragoza, Spain, a local political figure faced legal scrutiny after a late-October incident at a neighborhood pharmacy. José Antonio Lahuerta, affiliated with the Independent Federation Utebo council and a candidate previously associated with the FIA, admitted during a ruling session at Zaragoza Instruction Court No. 6 that a bottle of personal lubricant was taken without paying. The court, hearing the case as a minor offense, established a monetary penalty of 180 euros and a daily fine of six euros for thirty days, to be finalized once the sentence becomes binding. The terms were laid out in an agreement reached the day before, between the prosecutor, a special prosecutor, and the defense, with Marco Antonio Navarro serving as counsel for the defense. The agreement reflects a negotiated resolution to the matter, avoiding a broader trial while acknowledging the act and its consequences.
