A German holidaymaker is said to have pushed a 64-year-old employee at Mallorca airport so hard that she died a short time later: there is a risk of three years in prison.
A German holidaymaker from Mallorca (48) is currently on trial before the criminal court in Palma. The father-of-two is accused of being responsible for the death of an airport worker in April 2019 following an argument.
The woman died shortly afterwards as a result
The man wanted to leave the security room to smoke a cigarette. When he wanted to go back to get his suitcase, the employee stopped him. The 48-year-old allegedly became abusive and pushed the woman so hard that she fell to the ground and broke her femur. A few days later the employee, who was suffering from heart problems and was about to retire, died. On Wednesday, the German testified in court through an interpreter and denied the crime: “I didn’t touch her. It fell to the ground on its own.”
The public prosecutor, on the other hand, assumes murder by negligence and demands three years in prison, according to the “Mallorca Zeitung”. The 48-year-old was also ordered to pay the victim’s family compensation of 400,000 euros.
Due to a ‘lack of evidence’, the German’s lawyer argues for acquittal. The verdict has not yet been reached.
