four year prison sentence handed down to the owner of a bar and restaurant which was causing excessive noise

The sentence issued by the Barcelona Provincial Court has now been confirmed by the Supreme Court in Spain

The Supreme Court has confirmed a four year prison sentence handed down to the owner of a bar and restaurant which was causing excessive noise in an area of Barcelona.

The high court found the establishment lacking measures demanded by law, and guilty of a crime against natural resources and the environment.

The owner will also have to compensate four neighbours with amounts of between 6,000 € and 10,000 €.

The Supreme Court thus supports the ruling from the Provincial Court in Barcelona.
