The date of the events or the amounts of the claim were not specified.

Policemen got out, opened the doors and pepper sprayed them. One of them, who identified himself, along with another cash, pulled the driver out of the vehicle, by the hair, and punched him in the jaw and in the mouth.
In this procedure, they were forced to tell them the phone passwords to delete everything they had recorded during a previous procedure, carried out by the municipality with police presence. The beatings continued to the police station. Also in the dungeon.
According to the ruling of Civil Court 5, “the facts described allow us to conclude that it was a totally irregular, illegal and violation of human rights procedure, since dignified treatment was not provided and personal integrity was not respected.”
The Compensation contemplates the psychological damage caused, loss of earnings and non-pecuniary damage.
“The existence of moral damage is evident because the spirit, tranquility and physical integrity of the actors have been affected, who have not only suffered the physical injuries described by the forensic doctor but also other illegitimate vexations and totally reprehensible in a rule of law, especially when such acts came from members of the state institution in charge of safeguarding the safety of citizens; all of which evidently had repercussions on social, work, family and recreational life,” the sentence indicated.
