The Mossos d'Esquadra arrested a staff member from the Mas d'Enric prison in El Catllar this Tuesday following allegations of sexual harassment against several female colleagues.

The individual, who works as a psychologist at the Tarragonès facility, had recently returned to work after a six-month suspension for similar reasons. The police intervention followed new complaints within the workplace.
The suspect is currently awaiting a court appearance in Tarragona. Following the judicial hearing, the Department of Justice will determine the administrative future of the employee.

"The Department of Justice expresses its zero tolerance for any type of conduct that violates the freedom of individuals."
