The National Police have once again arrested Andrés de Vicente Fuentes ‘Capi’, whose action went around the world in December 2015 because he attacked Mariano Rajoy when he was Prime Minister during an electoral walk through Pontevedra. Since then, after spending two years in a closed juvenile facility, he has been involved in several violent incidents and the last one occurred this Friday, when he attacked a journalist.
The young man, who is now 25 years old, entered the newsroom of the newspaper La Voz de Galicia in Pontevedra around two in the afternoon this Friday armed with a knife. As soon as he entered, as this newspaper has learned, he asked the professional who opened the door for him if he knew who he was and attacked him.
The journalist, who at that time was in the newsroom with another person from the administration department, defended himself and presented defensive wounds, with cuts on his forearm and one hand.
The assaulted man managed to get out the door asking for help and, when he reached the street, two fellow journalists who were arriving at the newsroom closed the door and the attacker was locked inside. Immediately, they called the Police and several patrols of the National and Local Police of Pontevedra came, who proceeded to arrest him.
During the time that he remained inside the facilities, on Rosalía de Castro street in Pontevedra, he caused considerable damage inside, both to the furniture and to the computer equipment.
This attack occurred just two days after this young man was sentenced again for his violent actions. On Wednesday the 12th, he accepted a sentence for an altercation in a bar that occurred in December 2020 in Criminal Court 1 of Ourense. He hit a man on the head and said: “You are all going to die.” He had previously launched slogans in favor of ETA.
With his agreement, he was sentenced to a fine of 540 euros for a crime of injury and another of 90 euros for a minor crime of threats. An extenuating circumstance of mental disturbance has been taken into account.
In addition to going through the courts when he attacked Rajoy, he returned in 2019, when an out-of-court agreement allowed him to be acquitted of a crime of minor injuries for having attacked the provincial coordinator of Vox in Pontevedra, Juan Manuel Rosales, in March of that anus. On the day of the trial, he met his victim in court, acknowledged what he had done and apologized.
As a result of that pardon and of an agreement reached by both parties, for which he paid compensation to the Vox leader, he was released from a criminal conviction. That day, in court, he already showed his animosity towards journalists, which he has now confirmed again with the attack on La Voz de Galicia. He told them, “Fuck off.”
When he attacked Rajoy, he was a minor and was sentenced to two years in a closed juvenile detention center, which he served in full in Monte Ledo (Ourense).
