Overview
- Provincial judges in Burgos convicted a 64‑year‑old under a plea agreement for racist insults and violent threats against a 10‑year‑old boy in a school dining hall.
- The court said she acted out of contempt for Black people and aimed to demean the child’s dignity, using her age to intimidate him in front of other pupils.
- The sentence is 16 months in prison but will be suspended if she does not reoffend, according to the plea terms accepted by prosecutors and the defense.
- Sanctions include €2,070 in fines, a nine‑year ban from educational roles, a six‑month 100‑meter exclusion from the child, a three‑year no‑contact order, and mandatory equality training.
- Judges classified the conduct as crimes against fundamental rights and moral integrity with an aggravating factor of abuse of superiority, noting she picked up scissors during the tirade without brandishing them.
