Manuel Reija, a lottery seller accused of taking a 4.7 million euro Primitiva ticket from 2012, testified on Monday in A Coruña Provincial Court that he found it forgotten on his counter and tried to claim it to prevent expiration. He denied hiding the information from the customer and using his brother's position as lottery delegate. Prosecutors claim he kept the ticket knowing its value.
Three active forest fires in Galicia have forced the evacuation of 13 people in A Laracha (A Coruña) and prompted the Xunta to declare a level 2 alert in Ponteareas (Pontevedra). The fires, exceeding 40 hectares combined, started this afternoon and required extensive aerial and ground resources. A road was closed due to intense smoke.
