Overview
- Police launched a large search after Sunday's verdict reading when Yolanda Moreno failed to appear, and a judge issued a search‑and‑capture order to detain her.
- Judges imposed prisión permanente revisable on Moreno and her brother‑in‑law, Gustavo Petrel, for murder with a family‑relationship aggravator, a sentence in Spain that allows review only after a long minimum term.
- Rosario Moreno, the baby’s aunt who was in the car, was convicted of failing to seek help and was fined €5,400 under an omission‑of‑duty statute.
- Jurors cited an intercepted call in which Moreno said Gustavo heard the baby cry and she spoke of not thinking she would be caught, which they took as proof she knew the infant was alive.
- Forensic testimony said the very premature newborn was delivered in a car, died from cardiorespiratory arrest and head trauma linked to being left without care, and could have survived with prompt medical aid near the scene.
