Spanish Police Warn Against 'Simpa': Leaving Without Paying Can Lead to Eight Years in Prison
Madrid, Spain – The Spanish National Police has issued a public warning regarding the legal consequences of leaving establishments without paying, an act commonly referred to as 'simpa.' In an official statement released via video, a female officer from the Policía Nacional clarified that such actions constitute a fraud offense under Spanish law. According to the officer, individuals who consume goods or services in an establishment and then intentionally depart without settling their bill could face significant legal repercussions. Penalties for this type of fraud vary depending on the severity of the offense. For less serious cases, offenders may be subject to monetary fines. However, in aggravated circumstances, the penalties can escalate significantly, potentially leading to prison sentences of up to eight years. The Policía Nacional emphasizes that this warning aims to inform citizens about the serious legal implications of attempting to defraud businesses by not paying for services rendered. The initiative underscores the importance of adhering to legal obligations when consuming goods or services.
