LAS PALMAS DE GRAN CANARIA, 2 (EUROPA PRESS) The Criminal Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands (TSJC) has revoked the conviction for fraud imposed in the first instance on a real estate mediator who operated in Fuerteventura and has agreed to her acquittal as the “deception” inherent to this crime was not proven with the required solidity. In this sense, the judicial appeal resolution has thus annulled the sentence handed down by the Court of Las Palmas on October 13, 2025, which imposed a one-year prison sentence on the accused. Likewise, that initial ruling obliged it to pay compensation of fifteen thousand euros to the buyers, of Italian nationality, as reported by the TSJC in a press release. The events date back to the spring of 2016, the date on which the clients transferred 14,000 euros to reserve the apartment. Then, on May 24 of that year, they made three other payments worth eleven thousand euros, 1,275 euros and fifteen thousand euros, the latter under the concept of “apartment renovation.” Subsequently, on May 27, 2016, a private lease contract with an option to purchase was signed, which has not been made public due to the official protection classification of the property. For its part, the Las Palmas Court had considered it proven that the defendant had taken advantage of the acquirers’ lack of knowledge of the language to make them believe that the operation lacked intermediation costs, after receiving a commission of fifteen thousand euros. However, the TSJC has concluded that this version is not proven with the necessary firmness and has indicated that the sentencing reasoning has weaknesses. The court has applied the doctrine of the victim’s duty of self-protection or self-protection, which establishes that criminal coverage does not extend to cases where the victim’s passivity or lack of verification contributes to the damage. In this sense, the Court has stressed that the complainants, who have legitimately occupied the home for almost ten years, could not ignore the destination of the 15,000 euros due to the equivalence of the terms in Spanish and Italian.
