The Mossos d'Esquadra have reported the managers of two nightlife venues in Girona after detecting a waste dump on a forest track located in the municipal area of Fornells de la Selva. The police intervention took place on the morning of February 26 during a routine inspection by the Regional Environmental Unit of the Girona Police Region.
Waste located on the track between Vilablareix and Fornells
The agents located solid waste such as cardboard, plastics, and textile material on a track connecting the Vilablareix industrial estate with Fornells de la Selva. According to the police, among the waste were found garbage bags with festive decorations, clothes, themed costumes, cardboard boxes, and plastics.
During the inspection, the Mossos identified notebooks with internal annotations belonging to an establishment with a bar and dance hall license in Girona. A walkie-talkie with a sticker bearing the name of the same premises was also found. At another point of the dumping, the agents located classifying folders with stickers from a second establishment, in this case a music bar in the city.
Admission of the facts and removal of the waste
The Mossos contacted the managers of both companies, whose names have not transpired. After the checks, the police concluded that the waste came from a warehouse shared by both businesses and that some workers in charge of cleaning managed the waste incorrectly.
According to the police, the managers of the establishments admitted the facts and, after the officers' request, proceeded to remove the spill and transfer the waste to the corresponding recycling plant.
Open proceedings and referral to the city councils
The Regional Environmental Unit has opened proceedings against the managers of the premises and has processed the documentation to the city councils of Girona and Fornells de la Selva so that the appropriate administrative measures are adopted.
