Pair jailed after €1.6m wine heist at high-end restaurant in Spain

Priscila Guevara and Constantin Dumitru also ordered to pay 750,000 to insurers over the theft of 45 bottles

A court in Spain has sentenced two people to four and half years in prison after the theft of 1.6m (1.4m) worth of expensive wine from a high-end restaurant in a heist that made headlines around the world.

In October 2021 one of the owners of Atrio hotel and restaurant in the city of Caceres sounded the alarm after discovering 45 bottles of wine - including a 217-year-old bottle of Chateau d'Yquem worth 350,000 - were missing from the cellar.
