A court in Málaga has sentenced three men to six years in prison for the kidnapping of two individuals in January 2023. The defendants had met the victims at a gas station before transporting them to a farm property. 

During the incident, the kidnappers demanded a 50,000 euro ransom and threatened the victims with a knife. The victims were stripped of their belongings and held captive in a makeshift pit inside a cistern, which was covered with scaffolding and cement bags to prevent escape. The victims were eventually rescued by National Police after contacting a relative and being heard by officers.
