Journalist's home invaded and working equipment seized



On July 6, police surrounded Emiliano Gonzaléz's home and broke in after. They knocked at 6 a.m. threatening that if they did not open, they would force their entry. Emiliano's wife opened the door and suddenly 10 agents entered into their house (3 National Revolutionary Police officers and 7 plainclothes agents). They took Emiliano to the patrol car and kept him there until noon. Without any search warrant, they seized a hard drive, 2 photo cameras, a recorder, books, magazines, 2 mobile phones and more working equipment. Moreover, they asked his wife to give them all the money they would have, to what she answered that they had no money.
