Stock Photo - Madrid, Spain; 08.09.2021.- Equestrian statue of King Carlos III. Demonstration at the Puerta del Sol in Madrid, despite knowing that the motive was a false complaint of assault. A 20-year-old who denounced a homophobic attack in the Madrid neighborhood of Malasaña by eight hooded men has confessed to the police that he invented the attack. That what he said in his first complaint and that he has caused a political tsunami in Spain about hate crimes, is false. In a second statement to the investigators, he admitted that what he had denounced days ago as aggression, with the result of injuries to the lip and the supposedly forced tattoo on the buttock with a cutter of the word ""fagot"", was actually the result of a consensual sadomasochistic relationship, in a flat, with two other people.
