Green light from the Spanish Supreme Court for the partial pardon granted by Madrid to Juana Rivas , the woman sentenced for abduction of her two children, whose custody has long been disputed between her and the father of the minors, the Italian Francesco Arcuri .
In a press release, it is announced that the Spanish judges have rejected the appeal presented by Arcuri himself against the partial pardon granted to the woman, sentenced to serve two and a half years in prison.
As the Iberian media recalled, the government's partial pardon practically reduced the sentence to half, an aspect that allowed Rivas to return to freedom last March.
Rivas, who lived for a period in Sardinia with Arcuri and their two children, returned home with the minors in 2016. The following year, he did not respect the mandate of justice to bring the children back to their father: he remained untraceable together for about a month. to the two minors, then he agreed to allow them to return to Italy.
The woman has always explained that she acted in this way to protect her children from Arcuri , accused several times by her of mistreating her (accusations that the man rejects).
After the closure of the Spanish court case, the dispute regarding the custody of the two children - currently entrusted to the father - remains open in Italy.
