Valencia Provincial Court has sentenced actor Ignacio Jordà, known as Nacho Vidal, to three years in prison for trafficking 'pink cocaine' in Plaza Xúquer. The actor admitted the facts in a deal with prosecutors that spares him jail time. He faces a fine and rehabilitation requirements.
Valencia Provincial Court sentenced Nacho Vidal to three years in prison for a crime against public health, following a deal between prosecutors and his defense, led by lawyer Emilio Pérez Mora. He also faces a 5,800-euro fine.
The actor will not go to jail, as the prosecutor recommended suspending the sentence for four years on condition of no further offenses, a proposal accepted by the court. Mitigating factors included drug addiction, and he must attend a rehabilitation course.
The incident dates to February 2025, when National Police arrested Vidal in Plaza Xúquer with 103.05 grams of tusi, or 'pink cocaine', intended for sale at a market value of 5,700 euros. His actions stemmed from addiction.
Nacho Vidal has recent priors: in January, he was fined 2,160 euros for damaging a parking barrier at Mercado de Russafa while drunk and high. He also faces another case over photographer José Luis Abad's death during a 'sapo bufo' ritual, with prosecutors seeking four years in prison.
