Spanish courts impose prison terms for domestic violence offenses in Galicia and Mallorca

In Palma, Mallorca, a 38‑year‑old man of Colombian origin was sentenced to three years and eleven months in prison for habitual domestic violence, injuries and threats against his former partner. The court also banned him from owning weapons for three years, imposed a twelve‑year restraining order and ordered electronic monitoring upon release.

In A Coruña, Galicia, prosecutors are seeking nine years of imprisonment for a man accused of ramming his ex‑partner's car and then threatening her with death. The indictment includes six years for the vehicular attack, one year for aggravated domestic violence and two years for serious threats, alongside a civil indemnity.

In Ourense, a woman was convicted of assaulting her 85‑year‑old mother, receiving 60 days of community service (convertible to eight months imprisonment) and a two‑year weapons ban.

In another Galician case, a woman faces up to eight years in prison for attempting to murder her ex‑husband by running his vehicle into his home and filing a knife attack, with prosecutors also seeking substantial compensation for the victim's injuries.
