Overview
- Juzgado de Primera Instancia No. 104 in Madrid dismissed Genoveva Casanova’s core claims of violations of privacy and honor against Lecturas.
- The court awarded €175,000 limited to the magazine’s use of about ten images taken from Casanova’s Instagram account.
- The judgment characterizes Casanova as a public figure and stresses the social and political relevance of her encounter with the then heir to Denmark.
- Lecturas’ director Luis Pliego said the magazine will appeal the decision to challenge the compensation.
- Casanova’s legal team plans to seek a revision to increase the amount, with reports differing on what she initially demanded, ranging from €1 million to nearly €2 million.
