A British tourist was sentenced yesterday by a Criminal Court in Palma to six months in prison and fined €240 for assaulting a Guardia Civil officer in Magalluf. The incident occurred in August 2025 outside a nightclub in Punta Ballena.
The young woman, who travelled from the UK specifically for the hearing, will not serve time behind bars due to an agreement between her defence, led by Rosa Sánchez of Campaner Law, and the Public Prosecutor's Office. The sentence was suspended on the condition that she does not commit another offence within the next two years.
The events took place around 4:40 a.m. on 16 August last year. The woman was involved in a dispute with security staff at a nightclub in Punta Ballena. Following disturbances caused by her behaviour, the club employee called the Guardia Civil.
When officers arrived, they spoke with the accused and explained that the matter was a civil complaint outside of their jurisdiction. At that point, the woman began verbally abusing the officers, reportedly saying, "You are pieces of sh*t, sons of b******." She subsequently pushed one officer and punched another in the left cheek.
The injured Guardia Civil agent sustained a facial abrasion. The woman was detained and later admitted guilt to a charge of assault on a public official and a minor injury offence. The agreed sentence reflects the outcome of the plea deal reached during the court proceedings.
