Denuncia

After the partying last night I had a late start to the day. Toffee came bouncing in with tales of a big scrap between Teddy and Charlie. He had been out walking with them, all tranquil one minute, the next all hell had broken out. It was soon over and everyone was friends again. He had just settled down when la gata que se llama Tilly gave him a bash on the head. "The thing is Mickey, she's right crafty, 'cos when I looked up she was rolling on her back as if nothing had happened" I told him he should take out a denuncia.

Factoid: In Spain any person, whether offended or not, can file either before a Spanish Judge, Public Prosecutor, or the police, an oral or written statement - denuncia - setting out the details of an offence.

Individuals who have witnessed the commission of a crime, are obliged to denounce this to the Spanish authorities. Denuncias can be made by phone in Spanish and English, by calling 902 102 112, as well as on the Internet in Spanish at www.policia.es/denuncias/entrada. Otherwise, they can be made at the nearest Comisaría de Policia
