The owner of an Alicante company faces a two-year prison sentence for storing approximately 50,000 maritime flares without authorisation or in accordance with safety regulations.
The trial is set to begin this morning, Monday June 9th, at 10:00 a.m. in the Third Section of the Alicante Provincial Court, according to the Valencian High Court (TSJCV). The court has stated that the prosecution is accusing him of possessing and storing explosives.
The flares, which were red and contained 83 grammes of gunpowder each, were discovered on January 21, 2020, during a fiscal inspection of the defendant’s Alicante-based company. It was discovered that they had been brought from Italy without the requisite circulation licenses and without the supervision of the Civil Guard’s Central Intervention for Arms and Explosives.
The prosecution argues that the explosive material was stored in an unauthorised location with no safety safeguards.
