The Provincial Court of Seville upheld the fine against actress María León, rejecting an appeal by local police officers who sought a harsher sentence for a previous ruling. León was originally fined for resisting arrest and causing minor injuries to a police officer during an incident last year. The court noted that the request to increase the charges was not warranted due to León's physical condition and the minor nature of the incident.

In March of the previous year, the court sentenced León to pay a total of 5,700 euros, a sum made up of two distinct fines connected to her conduct towards police officers. The incident included her escape from a police vehicle, which the officers argued should be treated more severely under the law, as they attempted to upgrade her charges to serious disobedience. However, the court's ruling indicates that the nature of the offenses was not significant enough to justify a stiffer penalty.

This ruling reinforces the importance of assessing the circumstances surrounding individual cases, especially concerning the actions of public figures. The case has attracted media attention not only for its implications regarding the legal treatment of celebrities but also for public interactions with law enforcement. The fine still stands, reflecting the court's decision while addressing concerns about proportionality in sentencing for lesser offenses.
