The Spanish Supreme Court has ruled that the State must compensate a Moroccan construction worker, Ahmed Tommouhi, with 2.5 million euros for the 15 years he spent in prison and three years under conditional release following a conviction for rapes he was ultimately acquitted of. The court found that the National Court had erred in rejecting compensation and held the State responsible for the judicial mistake, noting that the court which convicted him failed to consider a biological forensic test that contradicted his guilt.
