The prosecution denounces the ultra Alberto Pugilato for instigating harassment and ideological hatred on social networks

The Public Prosecutor's Office in Valladolid has denounced the far-right activist Alberto Pugilato for inciting harassment and ideological hatred through his social media posts. The charges stem from his alleged encouragement of followers to pressure and attack leftist figures such as comedian Héctor de Miguel ('Quequ�') and journalist Sarah Santaolalla. Pugilato shared event dates and locations of Quequ�'s performances on X, using euphemisms like 'applaud him' to imply aggression. He later boasted on YouTube that Quequ� had canceled part of his tour due to the pressure. The prosecution argues these actions could constitute hate crimes under Spain’s penal code, potentially leading to prison terms of up to four years and fines. The case was referred to the fifth section of the Instruction Court in Valladolid, which began preliminary investigations into the alleged digital offenses.
