For attacking, robbing, and raping his ex-partner, a man faces 36 years in prison

Alicante Provisional Court

A man who raped, robbed, assaulted, and held his ex-partner against her will while he was under a restraining order faces a 36-and-a-half-year jail sentence.

Prosecutor’s Office is requesting this prison sentence for events that started early on September 30th, 2023, when the defendant, according to the Public Prosecutor’s Office, went to a nightclub in Petrer where the victim was, insulted and humiliated her, and violently took her bag. The trial is set for today, Monday 10th March, in the First Section of the Provincial Court of Alicante.

According to the prosecution, the defendant took the woman by the arm and hair and pushed her into the passenger seat of the automobile after seeing she had the keys. The woman constantly begged him to stop as he drove towards Alicante along the motorway, cursing and threatening her.

The accused stopped the vehicle in the Bacarot region at one point during the trip to sexually abuse the victim, who had repeatedly yelled at him to stop and refused to engage in sexual activity with him.

When the woman was able to exit the car and seek for assistance from a passing motorist, the assault came to an end.

Several weeks later, on October 20th and 26th, the man called the victim on various times to express his desire to reconcile. The defendant intimidated and humiliated her when she refused.

The calls were placed on October 26 when the woman was in the company of a National Police officer at the Victim Assistance Office.

The defendant is charged by the prosecution with sexual assault, unlawful imprisonment, violent robbery, threats, and a continuous offence of sentence violation.

Today is the start of the hearing, while Friday 14th March is the date of the second session.

Benidorm, police catch man with 600 marijuana plants in his car

A 49-year-old man was caught in Benidorm by the National Police for transporting marijuana plants and other supplies needed for their growth in his own car. A crime against public health has been charged against the man who was caught.


The man was arrested as the last step in an investigation that began when the National Police learnt about his activities in the province of Alicante, which included moving drugs (mostly marijuana) and building infrastructure for future hydroponic crops.

In the beginning, police focused on finding the man and his car. After making sure of both of these things, investigators did a number of surveillance and monitoring operations to confirm how he worked. It was proven that the suspect was carrying drugs and the nutrients needed to grow marijuana hydroponically in people’s houses in the province of Alicante as they drove.

Last but not least, the arrest happened after one of the operations to spy on and track one of the trucks.

When he was arrested, his car was checked, and police found 600 marijuana cuttings, €1,500, two mobile phones, and thirteen five-litre drums of fertiliser and plant growth nutrients.

21 expensive cars that were stolen in the U.S. were found Valencia port

Together with the US Container Security Initiative, the Guardia Civil and the Tax Agency found 21 high-end cars that were stolen in the U.S. and were on their way to Africa in the port of Valencia. The cars, which were worth a total of €1.1 million, were reported stolen and were being moved in containers.

The cars were stolen in the U.S. and were on their way to different places in Africa, stopping in Valencia’s port. Risk analysis units made up of Guardia Civil and Tax Agency officers were able to find several packages that might not have had the goods that were claimed to have been inside.

With the help of the information gathered, it was confirmed that stolen cars that had been in Valencia on their way to the United States had actually arrived. The groups that ship stolen cars either traded legally declared cars for stolen ones or directly declared the stolen cars as other goods, like furniture or mattresses.

In the past few weeks, 21 vehicles have been found and will be sent back to their home countries to be given to their original owners.

14 immigrants were saved on a boat 45 miles off the coast of Alicante

On Wednesday, 2nd April, the Maritime Rescue ship Salvamar Leo saved 14 immigrants who were travelling in a boat about 45 miles from Alicante.

In the middle of the afternoon on Wednesday, Maritime Rescue sent out its Helimer 223 helicopter and the Salvamar Leo, which is based in Alicante, to save the people on a small boat.

Their journey began on the Salvamar Leo, which took them to the Temporary Assistance Centre for Foreigners in the port of Alicante. There, the Red Cross took care of them.

The Red Cross says that all of the refugees they saved were men, and two of them were younger than 15 years old. They were all healthy after being treated.

The National Police took over the refugees after getting help from the Red Cross. They are now trying to find the boat’s captain so they can arrest him, as is normal in these situations.
