International Warrant Issued for Briton in Magaluf Hit-and-Run After Bail Breach

The warrant suspends the trial until Hulme is located abroad for extradition.

Overview

  • A Spanish judge declared Jack Benjamin Hulme in contempt for failing to maintain contact under his bail conditions and issued an international arrest warrant.
  • The warrant authorises cross-border law enforcement to detain Hulme and return him to Spain to face charges.
  • Hulme is accused of mounting a pavement in Magaluf on March 23, 2023, and injuring a 19-year-old British man and a 20-year-old Polish woman, both of whom survived without serious injury.
  • Initially held on suspicion of attempted homicide, he was later charged with two counts of wounding, reckless driving and a drink-drive offence.
  • Public prosecutors are seeking a four-year prison sentence if Hulme is tried and convicted.
