Andrés de Vicente Fuentes ‘Capi’, known because in December 2015 he attacked Mariano Rajoy when he was President of the Government, has entered prison this Saturday for the attempted murder of a journalist from La Voz de Galicia, whom he attacked with a knife and a rolling pin at noon this Friday at his workplace in Pontevedra.
This is his first time in prison, because in 2015, when he assaulted Rajoy, he was 17 years old and the Pontevedra Juvenile Court imposed two years of internment on him in a closed juvenile detention center, which he served entirely in Monte Ledo ( Ourense).
He was then sentenced for a crime of assault on the authority of the aggravated subtype of article 550.3, which applies to those who attack a member of the Government.
On this occasion, the magistrate of the Investigating Court number 3 of Pontevedra, acting as a guard, agreed to his entry into provisional prison, communicated and without bail, attributing a more serious crime to him: attempted homicide.
In addition, the judge attributes the crime of attacking authority agents for his resistance to arrest after the attack on the journalist, six agents being necessary to subdue him.
The order to enter prison details that he is being investigated for four crimes. In addition to the attempted homicide and the attack, they attribute a crime of injury and a quarter of damages to him for the damage caused in the La Voz de Galicia office in Pontevedra, in which he destroyed furniture and information equipment using the roller.
The young man, who is currently 25 years old, went to court this Saturday after being arrested on Friday around 2:00 p.m. Moments before, they had delivered yesterday to the newsroom of La Voz de Galicia in Pontevedra.
After the arrest, he was referred to the Montecelo de Pontevedra Hospital and then served to the Psychiatry area.
After his arrest, it was confirmed that hours before he had published on his social networks his intention to commit some violent act, announcing his actions as he had also done before attacking Rajoy.
On this occasion, he apologized in advance to his family and friends and warned: “I am going to take Justice into my own hands.” “I can’t take it anymore, I just want Justice, just like any person whose life has been screwed up,” she warned.
The National Police arrested him on Friday in a state of great aggressiveness. He entered the newsroom when there were two people, a journalist and a worker from the administration department, visibly upset by some information published two days ago about a conviction against him in Ourense.
The administration worker managed to escape, but the journalist was attacked with the knife and the rolling pin. The editor defended himself and suffered defensive injuries, with cuts on his forearm and one hand for which he was referred to the Montecelo Hospital and received ten stitches.
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.
The information for which he was upset was published on Wednesday, July 12, when the young man accepted in the Criminal Court 1 of Ourense a sentence for an altercation in a bar that occurred in December 2020. He hit a man in the head and said “You are all going to die” and 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.”
