She will be jailed for dressing up for free at a recognized store

The penalty imposed on the crook was also less than what the indictment and Inditex, the Spanish multinational Zara concentrated, had claimed. The decision of the Zaragoza Criminal Court 4 decided to deprive her of her freedom for six months. The prosecution had asked for 15 months, against two years requested by the owners of the chain.

The officials of the three premises where Tania proceeded to the scam were present as witnesses at the trial. These are the premises of Gran Casa, Puerto Venecia and the Paseo de las Damas. There, the three employees explained that the woman never asked for a cash refund because she knew the company's internal procedures that the store manager had to authorize the return. He always wore other clothes in return.

The accused also distinguished himself by the fact that she was still dealing with cashiers, as they have a turn with greater rotations and only point out that the inner and outer labels coincide. In the sentence, the judge said that settlement workers should have "a better knowledge of the stock" and that "would have allowed them to detect that the pledged made did not correspond to the label".

At the trial that took place on September 30, Tania defended herself against the charges and said that she could not sew, so that she would not have could again put the labels on the clothes. This defense did not reach him to avoid the months that he must go to jail.

It was Zara's internal control systems that detected the fraud, since three stores were part of the siren and security department and when they went through the data, they understood that it was safe for them was acting the same person. Having no background, the woman can seek suspension of the sentence so as not to enter prison.
