Couple sentenced in Spain after 1.6 million euro wine heist at Michelin-starred restaurant

A Spanish court on Monday sentenced a couple for stealing 45 bottles of wine worth over 1.6 million euros from a hotel restaurant, in what police called a "meticulously planned" theft.

A bottle of Chateau D'Yquem 1806 worth 350,000 euros was among the wines stolen from the Atrio hotel in Cáceres, in southwest Spain, in October 2021.

A court in Cáceres sentenced the woman to four years in jail and the man to four and a half years after finding them guilty of burglary with forced entry.
