Overview

• On July 10 el Tuvi was transferred to the Tribunal Superior de Justicia de la Comunitat Valenciana to appeal his reviewable life sentence and an additional eight-year term.
• He received Spain’s maximum penalty after a jury concluded he murdered Wafaa Sebbah with treachery and cruelty following a sexual assault.
• His defense argues for mitigating circumstances; prosecutors and victim lawyers counter that the extreme torture and misogynistic intent justify maintaining the full penalty.
• The sentencing judgment found that he shot, stabbed, bound and asphyxiated the 19-year-old over an extended period as an expression of dominance over women.
• He also faces a pending femicide case for Isabell Raducanu and holds a prior conviction for strangling an ex-partner, highlighting a pattern of serial gender-based violence.
