The judicial process is coming to an end with the group rape committed during the Sanfermines of 2016, the case of which will be reviewed today by the Supreme Court. The Provincial Court of Navarre and the Superior Court of Justice of Navarre have declared rape as sexual assault and the case has come to the Supreme Court as sexual abuse. The demand for the accusations is that rape should be regarded as sexual assault, and if this were to happen, the penalties would most likely be increased. At the moment, the five defendants are facing a 9-year prison sentence petition. The defence, for its part, has called for the absolution of the rapists on the grounds that the sexual relations that occurred were consented and consented.

The Courts of Navarra, instead of describing it as sexual assault, described it as abuse and that decision provoked a tumult. The Ertzainas argued that in order for the aggression to occur, the aggressor must exert violence and that there was no evidence of violence in the violation. The aggressors themselves videotaped it as evidence of rape, but the Supreme Court ruling says that men used the "advantage" to rape women, not violence. The jury was divided: three out of five judges signed and two others cast a particular vote indicating that they had exercised the violence.

The Spanish Supreme Court is in the hands of the Prosecutor ' s Office to decide whether it considers that this is an aggression.
