Overview

• María Jesús Moreno and Salvador Rodrigo were convicted in 2020 for the fatal stabbing of engineer Antonio Navarro, receiving 22- and 17-year sentences respectively.
• The Netflix adaptation 'La viuda negra', released in May, has topped charts in over 40 countries and reignited media coverage of the case.
• After becoming pregnant in 2023, Moreno was transferred from Picassent to Alicante’s mothers’ unit at Fontcalent prison, where she lives with her nearly two-year-old son.
• Rodrigo remains in the Picassent prison, where restrictions on inmate media access prevent him from viewing the film that portrays his crime.
• Investigative follow-ups and a related podcast have shed light on the case’s wider impact, including the 2017 death of subinspector Blas Gámez Ortiz during the murder inquiry.
