The woman convicted of murdering her partner has been transferred again to the Brians 1 penitentiary center. This administrative move marks the sixth time she has changed prisons in the last nine years.
The transfer occurs just as the anniversary of Pedro Rodríguez's crime is being marked. Prison authorities justify the decision in response to an alleged plan to assault a female official at Mas d'Enric.
A constant disciplinary record
Rosa Peral entered Wad-Ras prison in May 2017. Since then she has passed through the centers of Brians 1, Mas d'Enric and Terrassa, where she remained isolated due to coronavirus in 2020.
He has been involved in incidents such as possession of a mobile phone during his confinement. He also has frequent confrontations with other inmates that have generated various disciplinary records.
Security in El Catllar, located in Tarragona, was compromised by these new conduct reports. Officials detected the plot and acted to prevent any physical aggression within the premises.
Without legal representation since this week
Núria González has announced her resignation from representing her in all open judicial proceedings. The lawyer ended a professional relationship that began in September 2023.
"I wish you find justice" - Núria González, Rosa Peral's former lawyer
González has said goodbye through a brief and forceful statement. Olga Arderiu was her defense lawyer until 2023 and managed to avoid a greater sentence in the initial trial.
Arderiu defended Peral in the process that ended with a 25-year prison sentence. Now the inmate is left without technical defense while accumulating new pending cases.
Investigation for concealment of assets
There is a case for asset stripping whose trial is scheduled for 2027. Investigators are analyzing whether the convicted person hid assets to avoid compensating the victim's family.
It is being investigated if he hid assets to avoid paying the civil liabilities derived from the crime. This legal strategy could further complicate his future legal situation.
The attempts to review the sentence before the Supreme Court have not prospered. Nor was there success in the appeals filed before the High Court of Justice of Catalonia.
The popularity of the case increased with the Netflix series The Body in Flames. This media exposure contrasts with the pending litigation over access to Albert López's file.
The tension between public notoriety and prison reality defines her present. Rosa Peral now faces a new environment in Brians 1 after her attempts to maintain stability in Tarragona failed.
