Overview

  • The Audiencia Provincial de Granada approved a plea agreement, reducing the defendant's sentence from a potential 20 years to 8 years in prison for the 2022 homicide.
  • The settlement includes €120,000 in compensation for each of the victim's parents, €75,000 for his brother, and a daily €6 fine to the victim’s girlfriend for two years.
  • The agreement imposes a 15-year banishment from Íllora and a no-contact order with the victim's family and girlfriend.
  • The fatal assault occurred during Íllora's patron saint festivities, where the defendant attacked the victim with punches and kicks, continuing the violence even after he was unconscious.
  • The plea deal avoids a jury trial, with the defendant having been in pretrial detention since surrendering shortly after the incident.
