‘check their change’
THE Guardia Civil has reissued
a notice to tourists to
keep a look out for Egyptian
and Mexican currency working
its way into Spanish circulation.
The Mexican Five Peso
coin and the Egyptian Pound
coin are very similar to the
Two Euro coin and on first

unnoticed.

A COURT in Sevilla which specialises
in cases of violence against women remanded
in custody a 20-year-old male
for allegedly attacking his 15-year-old
girl friend.
Officers from the National Police and
emergency services were called to a
street in the city after a man was seen to
smash a girl’s head against a shop window,
breaking the glass.
Whilst paramedics attended to the girl,
the officers chased a suspect through the
Violent

streets until they caught him.
The girl who suffered serious injuries
to her head and shoulder including a
broken nose is reported to have said that
she had known the man for two years
and had gone out with him, but that
night he had seen her with friends and
attacked her.
Although there is no prior history of
arrest for violence, the court decided after
interviewing witnesses that the alleged
assault was so serious that the
young man, whose family come from
the Dominican Republic, would be held
without bail until the trial.
