Spain’s Supreme Court has ordered the state to pay €2.5 million in compensation to Ahmed Tommouhi, a Moroccan national, following his wrongful imprisonment. Tommouhi spent 15 years in prison during the 1990s after being convicted of sexual assault. He was ultimately acquitted in 2006, but legal proceedings regarding state liability continued for another two decades. The recent ruling acknowledges a significant judicial error and its devastating impact on Tommouhi’s life. This substantial payout represents damages for the years lost and the injustice suffered. The case highlights concerns about the Spanish judicial system and the lengthy process for addressing wrongful convictions. It marks a rare instance of significant financial redress for a miscarriage of justice in Spain.
