The Policía Local in Xàbia opened an investigation yesterday afternoon to report four serious infractions by the organizer of a gathering of more than 25 people who shared a fun day on private land alongside the Camí de la Fontana.

Those identified – who came from different municipalities in the Comunidad Valenciana – were playing volleyball and had set-up an area for food and drinks, failing to comply with several of the extraordinary measures that have been put in place to try and stop the spread of the COVID-19 infections as well as the basic conditions of hygiene and health.

The officers identified all the attendees and opened the investigation against the supposed organizer of the gathering.
