Cayetano Rivera Appears in Court Over Alleged Breathalyzer Refusal After Roundabout Crash

Rivera blames a brief distraction for the November 7 collision.

Overview

  • He attended a hearing in Alcalá de Guadaíra on November 17 over an investigation into whether he refused a police breath test after the crash.
  • He declined to clarify if he took the test when officers went to his home, saying he would address the matter only before the judge.
  • He asserted that no other vehicles or people were involved, with damage limited to two palm trees at the roundabout.
  • He described feeling harassed by media coverage, calling it a “popular trial,” and said he is physically fine.
  • If refusal is proven, he could face a charge under Spain’s Article 383 with possible prison time and a license ban, plus a separate €80 fine for leaving the scene.
