Trial Begins for Spaniards Accused of German Tourist’s Death on Mallorca
Prosecutors allege the 20-year-old was thrown from a van onto a highway, while the defense claims he jumped out himself.
- The trial centers on the death of a 20-year-old German tourist who was fatally struck by a car on a Mallorca highway in October 2022.
- Prosecutors argue the two Spanish defendants intentionally threw the victim from a van, while the defense insists he exited the vehicle on his own.
- The victim had a blood alcohol level of 2.41‰ and was last seen at a party area before disappearing and being found on the highway minutes later.
- Key evidence includes traffic camera footage and an eyewitness who claims to have seen the victim being thrown from the van.
- The case, initially thought to be an accident, has raised questions about a possible altercation in the van and the defendants' motives, with prosecutors seeking 25-year prison sentences and financial compensation for the victim’s family.
