Sentenced to one year in prison for parking in a disabled parking space with a false card

21 September 2020 - 13: 37

The Third Section of the Provincial Court of Alicante has confirmed the penalty of one year in prison and a fine of 1.620 euros imposed on a man who parked his vehicle in a space reserved for the disabled and used a false parking card. The sentence, handed down last January by the Criminal Court number 1 of Benidorm and now ratified by the provincial court, declares him the author of a crime of falsification in official document.

The events date back to 2017, when the driver parked in a square for the disabled on Mercat de Dénia street. To do this, he placed on the dashboard a false card, a color photocopy of an original issued by Norwegian authorities in the name of his ex-brother-in-law.

In the appeal presented before the sentence of the Criminal Court, the convicted person alleged that the document was not false, since there was an original that matched the content of the card on his dashboard. The man added that the original document belonged to his ex-wife's brother, that it was his ex-father-in-law who made photocopies for the family vehicles to take and that he forgot to remove it from his car.

However, the Court considers that this alibi is not confirmed by any “conclusive” evidence and that, in any case, it has been three years since her ex-brother-in-law and the holder of the document has not lived in Spain, so "Presumably, the 'forgetfulness' to withdraw the card has lasted that time, not the improper use of the parking spaces for people with reduced capacity."
