China News Service, February 22. According to a report compiled by Spain's "Ouhua Daily", a resident of Córdoba (Córdoba), Spain, was sentenced to three years in prison for arson in a local Chinese hundred-yuan store in 2017. Pay compensation in excess of EUR 100,000.
On May 22, 2017, around 1:00 a.m., the defendant, who was 30 years old at the time, was riding a bicycle, wearing a dark sweatshirt, and carrying a can of gasoline he had purchased at a gas station the previous afternoon, approached and burned a Chinese hundred Yuan shop.
The court ruled that the fire spread throughout the store given the rapid combustion of the accelerant used.
The damage to the house and goods was covered by the insurance company for a total of 100,976 euros, and now the judge has ruled that the defendant should be liable for civil liability for that amount.
In his ruling, the president of the court recalled that the defendant should not have been sentenced to the minimum sentence in this case.

He also used gasoline, a combustion accelerant, which caused the fire to spread rapidly and cause huge damage. Danger.
