Offenders who commit petty theft (including mobile phones) or network fraud will receive tougher penalties after passing a law for those who repeatedly commit petty crimes .

The law promoted by Junts and supported by PSOE, PP, Vox, PNV and UPN will bring about changes tothe Penal Code  and the Criminal Procedure Act. 

For example, in the case of robberies worth less than EUR 400, offenders will receive fines of up to three months. However, those who repeat such petty robberies may be sentenced to one to three years' imprisonment if they have three previous penalties for the same offence. 

In addition, they will tighten penalties for those who steal mobile phones, in which case it will be taken as an aggravating factor that these electronic devices store personal data. 

For profit-making fraudsters, the amount offraud , the economic damage caused, the relationship between the fraudster and the injured party, the means used, etc.  shall be taken into account in the imposition of sanctions.

In addition, offenders may be prohibited from going to places, neighbourhoods, municipalities, provinces, local institutions or autonomous communities.

Finally, those who provide logistical support to narcos may be sentenced to between one and five years' imprisonment.
