A COUNCILLOR from Figueres (Girona province) is under investigation for alleged possession of child pornography.
Diego Borregas was arrested on Friday and refused to comment when questioned.
He has since been released with charges.
Borregas was reported by a man who claimed he had been filmed by the councillor in the toilets at the AVE high-speed rail station and, when police searched his house and seized a tablet and a computer, they reportedly found pornographic images of children.
The accused was on the right-wing PP party, but was suspended following the charges being announced and is now a non-affiliated member of the local authority.
He was only willing to answer questions about the alleged filming of the man in the bathroom, saying he had merely dropped his mobile phone and had reached down to fetch it.
