Overview
- Ramos, who landed in Madrid on Thursday after a Wednesday flight from Havana, was ordered into prison to start his 13.5-year term.
- The Ourense court’s conviction, upheld by Galicia’s high court and Spain’s Supreme Court in 2025, found he abused a student aged 12 to 16 using sadistic practices.
- Police say he fled Spain in July 2025 through Portugal, Brazil and Peru to Cuba, where he used the name Martín Soto and posed as a photographer.
- Cuban police arrested him in Havana in November 2025 on a Spanish judicial request, and Spanish Interpol officers escorted his transfer despite no bilateral extradition treaty.
- Penitentiary officials will decide his prison placement next, and the final judgment also orders no contact with the victim, years of supervised release, and a long ban on work with minors.
