The Prosecutor’s Office requests that the three accused be sentenced to pay a fine of 8,500 euros
The Prosecutor’s Office has requested a sentence of five years in prison for the young people who were injured in the explosion that occurred in a house in Durcalin June 2021, while they cooked hashish in the company of two minors who also suffered serious burns.
Four of the people who were in the house that day, and who were between 16 and 21 years old at the time, suffered serious burns due to the deflagration. In fact, three arrived at the hospital intubated and had to undergo emergency surgery that same night, according to health sources.
At first, the Civil Guard found different substances and machinery in the house that pointed to the possibility that they were cooking hashish. Now, the three adults involved – a young woman and two men – will sit in the dock for a crime against public health.

The operation basically consisted of introducing butane gas into an extraction tube containing pressed marijuana, exerting pressure until the resin oil came out of the other end of the tube. This was collected in a container that was then heated to eliminate the air contained in the oil.
