A Majorcan policeman who caused the death of a German cyclist while driving under the influence of alcohol has been sentenced to three years and seven months in prison for reckless homicide.
The officer was handed the sentence for his role in a 2012 hit-and-run accident in the Majorcan municipality of Llucmajor.
He also faces a four-year driving ban.
His partner, a passenger in the same police car, was sentenced to fines totalling €1,620 euros and a year-long driving ban.
The officer behind the wheel had been driving at high speed and in an intoxicated state when he side-swiped a female cyclist from Germany, the court ruled.
