Overview
- The Audiencia Provincial of Madrid has opened a criminal trial against Antonia Alcázar and four municipal officials on charges that they deliberately omitted their duties in urban discipline and environmental protection.
- Prosecutors say the case centers on the restaurant El Casón de la Quinta de San Antonio, which held weddings and other events in exterior areas without authorization while using loud music and pyrotechnics that disturbed nearby homes.
- Between 2019 and 2025 neighbors filed numerous complaints and the local police intervened several times, but only four municipal sanction files were opened and those files were left paralysed without final resolution.
- The Public Prosecutor asks for three years in prison for each defendant, a fine of twenty months at €15 per day, 12 years of special disqualification from urban and environmental duties, and joint compensation of €4,000 to the harmed residents while three neighbors also claim damages.
- The case has drawn public attention because of the mayor's family link to a senior political aide and it highlights how gaps in local inspection and sanction procedures can leave residents exposed and may prompt closer scrutiny of municipal enforcement under Madrid land and environmental rules.
