A Twitter user ends up in jail for posting a tweet in which he mentions the Infanta. Specifically, the tweet "Shoot the Infanta in the neck, please" costs him 1 year in jail.
The judge has indicated that glorified terrorism or incited very violent actions against public figures. The young Basque was arrested on November 6, 2014 by the Civil Guard after posting several tweets.
Among them were “I wish Irene Villa had been killed (sic)”, “twitterrorists laugh because they will be released and Ordoñez won't” or “Let's play ouija board: G-o-r-a E-T-A m-i-l-i-t-a-r-r-a”.
Therefore, the crime of glorifying terrorism that we see aggravates their conduct on the social network. In addition, the tweets curiously had great repercussions since they were accompanied by images. The latter has also been considered by the judge since the messages were public and had the objective of maximum diffusion.
Finely he has been sentenced to a year in prison and seven years of absolute disqualification by the National Court.
Threatening the Crown is also a crime
In the aforementioned case, the crime committed by the user is evident in his various tweets. But, in any case, we must not forget that since July 1st the Penal Code punishes threats to the Crown.
Article 573 was amended to sentence users who use social networks publicly to threaten the Royal Family with up to 2 years in prisonIn return, it will not be a crime of terrorism, as in the case of this young Basque who will spend a year in jail.
