Prosecutor seeks three-year sentence for motorhome seller in Tenerife
© El Día

The prosecutor's office in Santa Cruz de Tenerife has requested a three-year prison sentence for a man accused of misappropriating €53,000 in a motorhome sale. Buyers paid €53,000 as a partial deposit for a vehicle priced at €86,000 but never received the motorhome or a refund despite repeated demands. Although the seller's son is the official partner and manager, the father acted as the authorized agent and controlled the company, leading prosecutors to charge him with taking the money.

Mechanic on trial for fraud in motorhome repair

The Provincial Court of Palencia (Spain) will hold a preliminary hearing on July 6, 2026, for mechanic G. G. M., accused of fraud. The victim contacted the accused via a website offering services and paid €2,450, but only €65 worth of work was actually performed. The parties have reached a plea agreement: considering mitigating circumstances (reparation of damage and significant procedural delays), the accused accepts a six-month prison sentence, a €360 fine, and compensation of €2,385.46.

Motorhome seized from fraud suspect found in garage he rented in Langreo

In February, a resident of Pola de Siero was arrested for defrauding a Catalan woman in the purchase of a motorhome, convincing her he had transferred 34,000 euros when no payment was made. The motorhome, held in police custody, disappeared and was later found in a workshop in Lada (Langreo) that the suspect had rented without paying. The workshop owners handed the vehicle to the police and plan to claim over 20,000 euros from him for unpaid rent and damages.

Lada Granta-based motorhome draws interest in Europe

A motorhome based on the Lada Granta, previously unknown to the European market, appeared in Spain and attracted attention from specialized media. However, buyers face a shortage of spare parts and difficulties with registration due to the engine not meeting Euro emission standards. The price starts at 13,000 euros, and the interior includes a double bed, kitchen, and shower. Experts note that the case is more an exception than the start of a mass trend, due to the lack of dealer support and strict safety requirements.
