Argentina, Spain and Peru court convictions for violent crimes

In Argentina, a man was formally charged with attempted homicide after stabbing Pedro Martínez in the roundabout of Huachaschi, Andalgalá, and a woman was also charged with aggravated concealment. In Mendoza, an 18‑year‑old received a six‑month suspended prison sentence for grooming a 12‑year‑old girl via a fake Instagram account.

In Spain, several high‑profile cases were upheld: the Valencia suspect in the murder of speech‑therapist Vincent D.C. faced a new hearing after forensic analysis ruled out semen evidence; the Andalusian High Court confirmed a 13‑year‑plus sentence for a groomer who posed as a minor to obtain sexual content from children; the same court affirmed an 11‑year sentence for a man who shot his partner in El Puerto; and a Sevillian court upheld a one‑year prison term for a man who stole an iPhone during an Icónica concert.

In Peru, a foreign national was sentenced to 10 years, 9 months and 7 days in prison for attempted homicide with a knife and aggravated property damage after a violent attack in a restaurant in Lambayeque.
