Overview

  • The Audiencia Provincial de Cádiz confirmed the full two-year and one-month jail term for flamenco singer Diego El Cigala on gender violence charges.
  • It upheld convictions for a 2017 slap in a Jerez hotel, a 2019 push and kicks in a Palafrugell hotel, and a 2020 neck-grab and insults in his Jerez home.
  • The court rejected defense arguments challenging the evaluation of the victim’s testimony and evidence.
  • Judges maintained an earlier acquittal of aggravated mistreatment related to an alleged 2017 Punta Cana airport incident due to insufficient proof.
  • Experts from the Unidad de Valoración Integral de Violencia de Género found no lasting psychological harm, so no civil damages were awarded.
