DEVELOPING: Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva has notified District Attorney George Gascón that he will begin sending his sheriff's detectives to parole hearings to "give victims a voice" as long as the newly elected DA continues to refuse to allow his prosecutors to attend them as part of his new reforms. "I cannot understand why your office is barring prosecutors from attending parole hearings," the letter penned by Villanueva to Gascón reads. "The purpose of the correspondence is to notify you, if prosecutors will no longer be allowed to attend parole hearings, the LASD will attend parole hearings in the absence of your prosecutors." Shortly after being sworn into office in December, Gascón issued a directive on so-called "lifer parole hearings" that indicated that the office's "default policy is that we will not attend parole hearings and will support in writing the grant of parole for a person who has already served their mandatory minimum period of incarceration, defined as their MEPD , YEPD or EPD."

The National Police and intelligence services of the United States have concluded the largest investigation to date against fraud committed with bank cards. A total of 105 people have been arrested and another 14 charged, in a macro-operation in which 88 simultaneous searches have been carried out in four European countries. In an operation that has lasted around 20 months and that has been led by Court number 6 of the National High Court, the authorities discovered that a continuous scam was taking place in many businesses in Spain, with cards from up to 30 American banks.
