Couple jailed over $1.7M wine heist

 

A former Mexican beauty queen and her partner were sentenced to four years in a Spanish jail for stealing 45 bottles of wine worth $1.7M.  The incident occurred in 2021 at Atrio, a luxury hotel in Cáceres, Spain, where the couple stayed as guests. The couple fled but were arrested nine months later at the Croatia-Montenegro border and returned to Spain. A Chateau D'Yquem 1806 bottle priced at 350,000 Euros was among the wines stolen from the Atrio hotel in October 2021. None of the wine has been recovered. The couple is identified as Priscila Guevara and Constantin Dumitru, and they have been ordered to pay more than €750,000 to insurers in damages.
