Overview

  • Ana Julia Quezada allegedly obtained up to four mobile phones in Brieva prison through sexual favors to staff, using them to prepare material for a true-crime documentary about her crime.
  • The Guardia Civil and Juzgado de Instrucción Nº 4 de Ávila are investigating systemic corruption in the prison, with two employees under scrutiny for facilitating Quezada's privileges.
  • Quezada anticipated earning €300,000 from the halted documentary, which was derailed after Patricia Ramírez, Gabriel Cruz's mother, filed a complaint in May 2024.
  • Ramírez has reported receiving threats and harassment, which she attributes to Quezada, as she continues to seek recognition as a victim in the ongoing legal proceedings.
  • Inmate testimonies describe Quezada as a manipulative figure with significant influence in the prison, leveraging relationships with staff to secure illegal privileges.
