Grandfather from Alicante jailed for abusing his 9-year-old granddaughter

Alicante

The Third Section of the Provincial Court of Alicante has sentenced the defendant to four years and three months in prison for the crime of sexual abuse of a minor, for which it recognises the mitigating circumstance of undue delays.

The court also ordered him to pay 15,000 euros to the victim for moral damages and the impact the abuse had on her psychological development. The convicted man will not be permitted to come within 500 meters of the girl or communicate with her in any way for nine years.

The incident happened on the evening of April 16th, 2020, when the girl slept overnight at her grandfather’s home in Alicante, which also housed her mother and a 13-year-old cousin. The sentence claims that the children slept in the shared bed together that night by taking advantage of the grandmother’s absence.

The condemned man once came into the room early in the morning, checked to make sure the little girl was asleep, then scooped her up and carried her to the bed where he was resting, stroking her intimate areas. The victim told the man what had happened after the girl woke up and told him she didn’t enjoy what he was doing to her. He then put her back in the bed with her cousin.

According to the Valencian High Court, the decision is not final and may be challenged by the High Court of Justice of the Valencian Community’s Civil and Criminal Division (TSJCV).

Alicante drug dealer arrested

Alicante Drugs

As part of its efforts to combat drug trafficking, the National Police have investigated a store in a house north of Alicante that sold a variety of illegal drugs, including cocaine and heroin. As a result of the police action, a 44-year-old lady of Spanish descent has been arrested.

The officers were able to identify the resident, a middle-aged woman, after conducting multiple inspections at the house under investigation.

The suspect was the subject of several monitoring and follow-ups during the police investigation, which allowed the agents to confirm that she was responsible for delivering the drug from her residence to those who arrived to get their dosage.

The suspect was arrested as part of a police operation after it was determined that she was involved in the sale and distribution of narcotic substances and that she utilised the house to conceal the money she had gotten illegally as well as to conduct drug transactions.

After the arrest, a search of the house turned up 450 euros in bills, 229 grammes of cocaine, and 96 grammes of heroin.

The detainee is now available to the Alicante on-call court when the police proceedings are concluded.

A significant drug sales hub that served the whole northern region of Alicante has been eliminated thanks to the police operation.

An Almoradí resident correctly predicts all six lottery numbers

Lottery

The town of Almoradí in the La Vega Baja region of Alicante was blessed with the Bonoloto draw yesterday, Tuesday, March 4th. A resident of the town correctly guessed the six numbers of the winning combination of the draw, or, to put it another way, the maximum prize that was up for grabs. This is because, unlike the La Primitiva draw, the Bonoloto does not require a guess for the complementary number in order to access the first prize.

All that is known about the winner at this time is that he validated his wager at a tobacco shop on Manuel de Torres Avenue in the municipality of Alicante. The winner will receive 372,001.42 euros and won’t have to divide the staked money with anyone else because he was the only one in Spain to properly guess all six numbers.

The following numbers make up the draw’s winning combination:

02-11-24-35-38-42 44 and Refund: 4.

Also, by matching four numbers and two suns, a San Juan de Alicante resident won 5,617.80 euros as a fourth-category winner in the ONCE Eurojackpot draw on Wednesday, March 4th.

From his point of sale on Avenida Rambla 6, Marcelo Gaztañaga Satianes, an ONCE-affiliated vendor in this town, has been fortunate. Since November 2016, Marcelo has worked as a seller at the ONCE Headquarters in Alicante.

From the design to the promotion of its social, safe, and responsible lottery, ONCE employs controls to counteract unchecked purchasing. Among other things, it specifically forbids sales to minors or credit-based purchases. By encouraging a responsible gaming policy and using the strictest evaluation and monitoring procedures established by the European Lottery Association and the World Lottery Association, the organisation upholds its obligation to the public.

Backpacker arrested for false robbery claim

Police National

After reporting that he had been the victim of a vicious knife attack on an Alicante street, a 40-year-old Colombian man was arrested by the National Police for posing as a criminal. The individual who was arrested acknowledged that he had made up some of the events, but he told the police that he had no insurance, despite suspicions that the goal was to get paid by an insurance company.

The man who was arrested for feigning a crime told the police that two men had approached him on the street, taken the rucksack he was holding, and threatened him with a switchblade during the altercation. According to his version, he gave up his possessions out of terror, and the criminals ran away.

He stated that he had a laptop, bank card, company documents, and his car keys in his backpack. However, the officers’ early police investigations made them doubt the complainant’s version of events.

The complainant was called back by the police to elaborate on his account and provide further details. According to the authorities, the individual went to the Northern authorities Station in Alicante and was evasive and anxious during the interrogation until he eventually acknowledged that he had changed his account of events.

As he had stated in his first testimony, the man acknowledged that his rucksack had been stolen, but he did so without threatening him or using a weapon. Additionally, he said that the accused burglars had used his debit card to pay 40 euros at a café.

Upon examining the transactions made using the pilfered card, the agents found that the purchase was for a mobile churro stand, where such a high amount of money was uncommon, rather than a bar or café. By supplementing the existing evidence, this proof demonstrated the complaint’s partial falsehood.

The proceedings were brought to the notice of the on-duty Alicante court, and the detainee had no criminal history.

The National Police remind people that making a fake report is illegal and can have serious repercussions. Furthermore, this kind of activity wastes resources that could be utilised to protect actual victims and solve actual crimes.
