Two men will be tried in Spain for illegally dumping garbage in a protected area.

In Spain, in the city of Puerto de la Cruz, the police are investigating the case of two men from Buenavista del Norte, aged 53 and 41. They are suspected of illegally removing and dumping garbage on protected agricultural land.

People reported that someone was dumping construction waste in a hard-to-reach place.

The police found that construction and demolition waste, as well as plastic and metal, were constantly being brought to an abandoned quarry.

They confirmed that this was causing environmental damage and began searching for those responsible.

Eventually, they found two men who could not explain what they were doing with the garbage and had no documents. They are now considered suspects in a crime against nature.

In Spain, such a crime can be punished with imprisonment for a term of six months to two years, a fine, and a ban on working in a certain profession for a term of one to two years.

The case has been transferred to the local court in the city of Icod de los Vinos.
