The Prosecutor’s Office assures that the aggressor “with the intention of undermining the physical integrity of her partner gave him a bite on the tongue.” The doctors had to suture the tongue, since it could not be reconstructed. Adaia López, the alleged aggressor, has to serve a firm sentence of 6 years in prison and financial compensation of 67,210.39 euros for tearing out the tongue of her boyfriend Aarón de ella in 2016.
The condemned appears to be in Thailand due to the inaction of justice. The proof is in the videos and images shared on their social networks. The lawyer, Pepe Rey, fears that he has fled to the Asian country, which has no extradition agreement with Spain, despite asking the Barcelona Court to execute the sentence that sentenced him to prison in 2021. Now, he announces that he presented a new writing to expedite the process. The court resolved the brief determining that “there was no place and that what had to be done was to carry out the sentence” as Pepe Rey recounts it. The victim’s defender assures that he had a call five minutes before the connection in the Espejo Público program to inform him that the sentence has not yet been carried out.
