Catalonia’s president’s son fined for vandalism

Arnau Montilla, one of regional president Jose Montilla’s five children, has been fined €300 euros for damaging two telephone boxes in Barcelona city centre.

The incident occurred at around 3:15 a.m as thousands of alcohol-fuelled fans were celebrating Montilla admitted kicking in the glass of one cabin and breaking the receiver, but denied vandalising the second.

The fine, which was originally set at more than €850 euros plus court costs, was reduced after an appeal on the grounds that prosecutors had failed to prove that the defendant was responsible for shattering the glass of the second telephone box.
