Prosecutors demand a 12-month suspended prison term for an adult woman accused of joining a group attack on

Prosecutors are seeking a 12-month suspended prison sentence for an adult woman accused of joining a group assault on a young woman at the former Eivissa Experience nightclub in January 2020.

The case came before Andorra's Tribunal de Corts this week, six years after the incident at the crowded venue. Witnesses reported memory lapses due to the time elapsed and intoxication among those involved. The victim described how a group of girls approached her without provocation, pushed her down, pulled her hair, and kicked her in the face and shoulders. She pointed to the two defendants as the starters of the attack and suffered visible injuries to her forehead and nose, requiring hospital care that night. A friend backed her account, saying she saw multiple people piling on amid the chaos at the club's exit following a dispute.

Both defendants deny active involvement, claiming they merely witnessed the brawl. The adult woman described a friendly relationship with the victim, while the then-minor acknowledged grabbing the victim's hair but insisted she threw no punches or kicks. A third girl, who had accepted a sanction for an initial hair pull, testified that the defendants stayed outside the "circle" of violence. The day after, one defendant messaged the victim to check on her wellbeing and deny participation—prosecutors see this as an implied admission, while lawyers dismiss it as politeness. All sides agree the victim and accused shared no prior friendship or grudge, with one noting, "Andorra is very small and we all know each other."

Prosecutors maintain the group attack is proven despite the challenges of time and alcohol, noting it risked far worse injuries. They seek the 12-month suspended term with four years' probation, plus civil liability, for the adult; the minor, who already served six weekends of house arrest as a disciplinary measure, faces no additional penalty.

Defence lawyers called for acquittal, pointing to inconsistent testimonies, faded memories, and lack of direct evidence tying their clients to the blows. The court will deliver its verdict on 1 April.
