Overview
- The Supreme Court annulled the €15,000 indemnity and revoked the order to delete a first‑episode sex scene, upholding appeals by Bambú, Atresmedia and Netflix.
- The decision overturns a partial ruling by the Pontevedra provincial court after an initial first‑instance dismissal of Oubiña’s €1.5 million claim.
- The court rejected alleged violations of honor, intimacy and image in the portrayal of Laureano Oubiña.
- Judges deemed Oubiña a public figure due to drug‑trafficking convictions, and held that a fictional series enjoys artistic freedom and is not bound by journalism’s strict truth standard.
- The intimacy claim failed because the sexual depictions were brief and non‑explicit, and the insinuation of cocaine trafficking did not constitute an illegitimate intrusion on his reputation.
