The intriguing story behind Rosa Peral’s Tapes
Rosa, once a member of the Spanish Guardia Urbana (Urban Guard), found herself embroiled in a shocking murder case. Her partner, Pedro Rodríguez, met a tragic end in 2017. The grim discovery of his burned body in the Pantano de Foix, a reservoir in Catalonia, sent shockwaves through the nation.
The autopsy revealed two fatal gunshot wounds to his head.
Peral and Rodriguez, both Guardia Urbana officers, had been dating since 2014 and had even moved in together by 2016. However, in 2017, Peral began a controversial romance with another Guardia Urbana officer, Albert López.
The events of May 1, 2017, would change their lives forever. Arrests were made, charges were filed, and a courtroom drama unfolded. Peral and López vehemently denied the accusations, but the prosecution built a compelling case against them. The jury's verdict was clear – both were found guilty and sentenced to 25 years behind bars.
Peral, steadfast in her claims of innocence, didn't stop fighting. She appealed her conviction, a battle that continues as she serves her sentence at Brians 2 prison in Barcelona.
The case of Rosa Peral remains complex and contentious. Nevertheless, one thing is undeniable – the story has captured the hearts and minds of the Spanish public.
