Porto Cristo

Porto Cristo, Mallorca, is the location where a woman, Yolanda Moreno, committed infanticide in November 2023 by throwing her newborn baby into a garbage container. This event has recently gained renewed attention due to the legal proceedings and subsequent events. Moreno and her brother-in-law, Gustavo Pretel, were both found guilty of the baby's murder. Moreno received a life sentence (prisión permanente revisable). After the verdict was delivered, Moreno failed to appear for the sentencing hearing and became a fugitive. A search was launched by the Policía Nacional and the Guardia Civil, culminating in her arrest in Manacor approximately two weeks later. The case is significant due to the severity of the crime and the subsequent flight and recapture of the convicted murderer, highlighting the justice system's response to such a heinous act.
