The trial of the couple accused of keeping their three children confined for nearly four years in a house in the outskirts of Oviedo is coming to an end, with the parents facing severe penalties of up to 25 years in prison. The defense argues that the children were not illegally detained but rather isolated voluntarily due to the "insurmountable fear" the parents experienced after contracting COVID-19. This assertion is part of their plea as they seek an absolution from the serious charges against them.
