The Hearing of Gipuzkoa has confirmed the sentence to seven years in prison that a San Sebastian Court imposed on the San Sebastian lawyer Miguel Alonso Belza , a well-known specialist in violence against women, for mistreating his former sentimental partner.

The Third Section of the Hearing thus dismisses the appeal against the ruling brought by Alonso Belza, whose defense lawyer, Juan Román Zubillaga, has announced that he will bring the case before the Supreme Court.

Last September, the Criminal Court number 2 of San Sebastián imposed Miguel Alonso 8 months in prison for a crime of slight coercion, 16 months for a crime of habitual abuse, 4 years and 6 months for six crimes of unusual abuse. , and another 6 months in prison for an injury crime.

For this, this court gave full credibility to the victim's story , who described in her complaint and in the oral trial numerous episodes of physical assaults inflicted by the lawyer after she decided to end their relationship, in 2016.

The judge also understood that the lawyer deserved "the greatest of criminal reproaches, because at all times he was aware of the illegality of his conduct, in his capacity as a lawyer specialized in the matter"

In a new sentence, the Hearing of Gipuzkoa reconfirms the validity of the victim's testimony to condemn the lawyer, in addition to considering that during the trial "sufficient evidence" and "legally obtained" was practiced to "enervate" his presumption of innocence.

Alonso Belza is known for having represented the family of Nagore Laffage, victim of a sexist murder in Sanfermines in 2008, as well as having been a lawyer for the ex officio shift of Violence Against Women in Gipuzkoa and having participated in various judicial matters of relevant echo. media in the Basque Country.

Precisely, the Supreme Court must also rule on a third sentence to the lawyer from San Sebastian, this time to ten months of imprisonment, for a second violation, motivated by several phone calls to his ex-girlfriend and messages that the accused sent him through a third person.
