The few who have seen the material so far – because the case moves very carefully when dealing with minors – report images that are extremely sensitive, both because of the seriousness of what happened and because of the young age of the children. The complaint, in fact, did not arise from the parents who learned of what had happened as a result of the case coming to light, but rather from the complaint of a girl who practically decided to write a report to denounce the ill-treatment she was subjected to as a witness in kindergarten.

In this educational center, where there will be children from zero to three years old and which is located in one of the richest cities in Spain, there were registered children of Atletico Madrid football players such as A.Natoine Griezmann, Alvaro Morata or Mario HermosoAnd so is the coach Diego Pablo Simeone.
