Overview

• A Granada court has cited Rivas as an investigada for allegedly keeping her 11-year-old son, Daniel, in Spain against Italian custody orders.
• The Audiencia Provincial de Granada’s July 24 ruling opened formal diligences and criticized her conduct regarding custody compliance.
• Daniel was returned to his father in late July after a failed handover at a family meeting point on July 22 and a subsequent police-enforced transfer ordered by the court.
• Rivas was previously convicted for a similar offense and received a partial commutation conditioned on not reoffending, which could be revoked if she is convicted again.
• In parallel, an Italian court in Cagliari will try Francesco Arcuri on September 18 over abuse allegations filed by Rivas and their elder son.
