The file was opened following an inspection where officers confirmed the existence of a pipe system to evacuate wastewater from the caravans and circus facilities into the plot's subsoil. This action was taken after residents reported unpleasant odors in the area.
The circus venue is located on private land near the central building of the Courts of Arrecife and the Las Salinas neighborhood. The City Council has stated that the area is equipped with a sanitation network, meaning the detected system violates applicable regulations.
The police report details potential infringements of the Canary Islands Waste Law, specifically articles 38.2 c), d), and e), which refer, among other cases, to the uncontrolled abandonment or dumping of waste and situations where, due to their volume or hazard, serious damage to natural resources could occur.
The administrative file will now be processed by the City Council to determine responsibilities and any applicable sanctions. The circus company's registered office is in Telde.
In addition to administrative proceedings, the Council plans to notify the Nature Protection Service of the Guardia Civil (Seprona) so they can assess whether the actions could have criminal relevance.
