Spain traffic fatality sentencing

Entities: Verónica González · La Codosera · Badajoz

Overview

In July 2026 a Spanish court sentenced Manuel Ricardo G.F. to three years' imprisonment for a fatal drunk‑driving crash in Asturias. A few weeks later, in August 2026 prosecutors in Badajoz asked a court to impose a four‑year prison term on a man accused of causing the death of Verónica González in a traffic incident in La Codosera, describing the act as homicide by reckless driving. The two cases illustrate ongoing judicial actions in Spain against drivers whose conduct leads to fatal accidents, with sentences ranging from three to four years depending on the circumstances of each incident.
