In her appeal, Román denounces “fundamental rights violations” committed against her during the judicial process, which, according to her lawyer, Ana Isabel Peña, could help to declare the procedure null and void.

Peña also published the Scientific Police report.

Román and Paz met in April 2018 when the convicted man started working at the cider house he ran in Madrid, and a few days later an emotional relationship that causes them to live together.
