Diego 'El Cigala' arrives at court to face trial over alleged abuse of his former partner on November 07, 2024 in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.The Spanish flamenco singer Diego “El Cigala” was sentenced to two years and one month in prison for abuse committed against his ex-partner, flamenco singer Kina Méndez, according to Spanish media including newspapers. The sentence, which can be appealed, was announced on Tuesday (Dec.
17) by the press office of the High Court of Justice of Andalusía (Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Andalucía).“The judge imposes the sentence for three crimes in the field of violence against women committed in Jerez de la Frontera and a hotel in Palafrugell (Girona), and also finds him guilty of another minor and continuous offense of harassment in the domestic sphere, imposing 25 days of a permanent location, always in a different residence and away from the victim’s residence, in addition to the prohibition of communication and approaching within 200 meters of the victim for six months, a measure common to the rest of the other crimes,” according toreports. The first, dating from the summer of 2017, was in a hotel in Jerez de la Frontera, where he “slapped her in the face” during a discussion on “the common areas” because she had asked him to stay with her son instead of going out. The second, two years later in another hotel in Palafrugell (Girona), was “in the context of a heated verbal confrontation,” when the singer “gave her a push that made her fall to the ground, and while lying on the ground, continued hitting and kicking her body,” according to. The third case of abuse occurred in November 2020, when, while at the house in Jerez de la Frontera, he “grabbed Méndez by the neck,” shouting, “I’ll s–t on your ancestors” because she had reproached him for using drugs in front of their children
