A 55-year-old man has been arrested this Sunday for two alleged sexual assaults that occurred in the Espacio Ebro during the celebration of the after party of the Feroz Awards gala held in Zaragoza and in which the possible participation of another man is being investigated. The alleged victims are a man and a woman who have reported the attack, which according to their version occurred between 4:00 and 6:00 in the morning, to the National Police this morning. The Family and Women’s Care Unit (UFAM) has been in charge of the investigation, sources from the National Police have reported.

The Association of Cinematographic Informants of Spain (AICE), which is the organizer of the gala, published a statement this Sunday in which he announces his “repudiation” and “strongly condemns the sexual assaults that have been reported at the party after the Feroz 2023 Awards gala.” “The event’s security team intervened as soon as they learned of the event, isolating the attackers and assisting the victims,” ​​the text explains.

According to the association, “the presence of the police was requested, which has taken charge of these complaints and the investigation, immediately.” “Once what happened is clarified, the alleged perpetrators of this unfortunate act will be banned from the Feroz Awards and from all activities organized by the IAEC,” he added.

The Zaragoza City Council, which ensures that it does not have information in this regard, has regretted the information that is becoming known through the media and has expressed its condemnation and rejection of any sexual assault. For his part, the President of the Government of Aragon, Javier Lambán, has expressed his “outrage” at the sexual assaults denounced at the Feroz Awards in a message posted on his Twitter account, where he has disapproved of the “fact itself”, as well as as the “negative image that is projected of Zaragoza”. In addition, he has shown his “total support” for the victims and has called for “punishing the aggressors and demanding explanations from the organization.”
