Juez investiga al propietario por cortar suministros a una mujer de 88 años
Anonymous
A judge in Roquetas de Mar, Almería, Spain has opened a criminal investigation against a property's new owner for cutting electricity and water to an 88-year-old woman facing eviction. El Periódico Extremadura reported that the property owner took these actions before the scheduled court-ordered eviction could take place, potentially violating coercion laws.
Judge Launches Coercion Investigation
The Roquetas de Mar court opened preliminary proceedings against the new property owner for the alleged crime of coercion. El Periódico Mediterráneo confirmed that the owner cut off essential utilities to the elderly resident before the formal eviction process could be completed by the court.
Utilities Shut Off Before Legal Eviction
The new property owner disconnected electricity and water services while the tenant remained in the home during active eviction proceedings. Levante-EMV reported this action occurred before the judicial eviction order could be enforced through proper legal channels. The timing of these disconnections raises legal concerns about tenant rights and property owner responsibilities.
Legal Questions Around Eviction Tactics
Spanish law protects tenants from harassment or coercion during eviction processes. La Opinión de Zamora noted that cutting utilities to force someone out before court approval may violate these protections. Such actions can constitute criminal coercion charges, which carry legal penalties. The case highlights tensions between property owner interests and tenant protections during housing disputes.
