Overview

  • The property owner, living in Germany, regained access to her inherited Vigo home after three years of occupation by squatters.
  • Previous eviction efforts failed due to nominative court orders that allowed occupants to change identities or involve minors to delay removal.
  • A third judicial order, permitting the eviction of any individual inside, was successfully executed on May 21, 2025.
  • The house was found severely damaged, with broken fixtures and missing personal mementos, and the owner had incurred significant utility expenses during the occupation.
  • During the eviction, an occupant threatened journalists and threw water at them, though no injuries were reported.
