The photo shows the "intentional stop" that Civil Guard Carlos Arranz Marina says for the place in the photo. In the restaurant you can see the Francoist symbol of Spain and the photo of Franco on the wall. "How are you... always so politically neutral," a friend tells him. His answer is: "Because I'm a classic."

The prosecutors and the defense are demanding acquittal. Sandra Barrenetxea testified on Wednesday and met three people in person, as you can hear in the following video.
