The director of the police, Bruno Lasnecalled this afternoon the owner of the Libre Idees bookstore, Pamela Mendezto apologize for the withdrawal of the two copies of the Mein Kampf which was done on Sunday at the request of a civilian agent. Lasne informed Méndez that the work books would be returned by Adolf Hitler which were seized over the weekend and shortly after 6 p.m., two officers went to the establishment to deliver the two texts.
Bruno Lasne has asked the owner of the bookstore to send the police a detailed written report of what happened last Saturday and of the behavior of the agent who went to the establishment and required the presence of a patrol claiming that it was illegal to sell the Mein Kampf. The law enforcement agency has requested that you provide all possible information about the police action.
Pamela Méndez explained to the newspaper that the return of the books occurs because The Prosecutor’s Office has filed the court case opened after the agents took away the copies and ordered the books to be delivered to the establishment when they could not find no crime in having them for sale.
The lawyers consulted by the newspaper agreed yesterday that the police force should violated the criminal procedure because to withdraw the books he had to have one court order of Batllia or Prosecutor’s Office. Bookstores in Andorra described the events as “a disproportionate action” to seize a book without a court order.
The withdrawal of the two copies of the Mein Kampf exposed in the history section of Book Ideas was done at the behest of an off-duty officer who informed the corps of what he considered an illegality. The law enforcement officer on duty sent one uniformed patrol in the bookstore to seize the books that this afternoon they have been returned to the owner of the establishment located in the Illa Carlemany shopping center.
