Overview
- Proceedings restarted on June 9, 2025 at the Audiencia Provincial de Valencia with Pedro Lozano Jiménez appearing by videoconference from Alicante’s psychiatric penitentiary hospital.
- Lozano, already serving 27 years for the attempted murder of two civil guards in June 2020, refused to answer questions and invoked his right to remain silent throughout the session.
- The prosecution outlined charges including an unconsented break-in of a Requena home and four violent vehicle robberies on February 28, 2020, committed with a shortened-barrel shotgun.
- A prison psychiatrist certified that Lozano understands the illegality of his actions despite his diagnosed psychiatric disorder, clearing the way for the trial to proceed remotely.
- If convicted on the six counts—four robberies with violence and intimidation, attempted home invasion, unlawful weapons possession and minor usurpation—Lozano could receive an additional 21-year prison term.
