Spanish court awards Moroccan compensation after 15 years
The Spanish Supreme Court has approved a financial compensation of 2.5 million euros for Moroccan citizen Tamouhi, who spent 15 years in prison after being convicted of criminal cases in which he was later found to be innocent. The court confirmed that the judicial error was serious, as it was revealed that the evidence upon which his conviction was based was insufficient, and genetic analyses showed that the samples seized did not match his DNA. The case dates back to 1991 in the Catalonia region, and the verdicts were reconsidered after more than three decades, ultimately declaring his innocence. The ruling emphasized that the damages suffered by Tamouhi were not limited to the years of incarceration but also affected his social, professional, and psychological life.
