The decision is subject to appeal before the Castilla y León high court.

Overview

  • Judges found N. T. G. guilty of six aggravated injuries, two robberies with violence, one fraud and one continued fraud tied to scopolamine use in 2018–2019.
  • The court detailed how she slipped scopolamine into drinks of acquaintances, causing severe intoxications that required hospital care, including ICU stays.
  • She exploited victims' incapacitation to take cash and force bank transfers, and separately deceived a family by feigning a serious illness to solicit funds later gambled online.
  • Magistrates acquitted her of attempted homicide, one specific robbery and alleged document falsifications due to insufficient proof.
