Two British Tourists Avoid Jail in Magaluf Bar Glassing Plea Deal

Prosecutors accepted guilty pleas to wounding after cash compensation to the three victims.

Overview

  • The case, resolved in May 2026, ended with a two-year suspended sentence for Tommy Colm Witty and a €720 fine for Alexander Lee Anderson plus four-figure payouts to the victims.
  • The assault happened at Iroko Mallorca in Palmanova near Magaluf in June 2024 when a worker refused more drinks and three people were cut and treated at Son Espases Hospital.
  • Police first arrested the men on suspicion of attempted homicide, then prosecutors pursued wounding and public disorder before the pair admitted wounding under the deal.
  • CCTV from the crowded bar captured the attack and identified Witty as the person who used a broken glass, which supported the charges and shaped the plea terms.
  • Two other participants remain listed as unidentified, and the outcome reflects Spain’s use of plea bargains that weigh guilty pleas and restitution in setting suspended terms.
