Overview

• The Audiencia Provincial de Barcelona imposed 33 years and six months in prison after a jury convicted Montserrat Nin of murder with treachery and the aggravating factor of relationship, habitual abuse, injuries, and conditional threats.
• The sentence breaks down as 25 years for murder, 3 years for habitual abuse, 2 years for injuries, and 3 years and 6 months for conditional threats.
• The court ordered nearly €450,000 in civil damages, including €300,000 to the victim’s son for moral harm.
• Investigators recovered extensive audio and video from Nin’s phone documenting humiliation, assaults, and threats, including a recorded threat to hire a hitman to kill the victim’s nine-year-old child.
• Judges endorsed the jury’s finding that the victim was stabbed by surprise at home while unarmed and vulnerable, rejecting alternative explanations and dismissing claims of consensual practices.
