2 Years, Seriously? A 27 year old Spanish man has received a suspended sentence of 2 years for the crime of reckless homicide when he lost control of his high performance Audi R8 on the airport dual carriageway, killing a scooter riding Moroccan tourist. The convicted, aged 24 at the time, was found to be almost 3 times over the legal limit for alcohol, and tested positive for cocaine and methamphetamine.
It was determined he was driving at between 113 and 123kph, in a zone designated as having a maximum speed of 80kph. The accident occurred in 2014 at the Salinas intersection. The scooter rider died some days later. His passenger was also seriously injured. The convicted man will serve no time in prison, providing he does not break the law in the next 4 years. He is also ordered to pay 132,000€ to the family of the
deceased in an agreement between the prosecution and defence. The prosecution were asking for 4 and a half years in prison. The practice of financial compensation to victims and their families is common in Spanish criminal law. See also editorial comment page 3. See also drink driving ‘clampdown’ in Ibiza Town. Page 3
