“The ruling of Justice will never pay for the pain and suffering, nor will it make you go back to being the person you were before. But it can be used for another woman, a woman who can be our mother, our brother, our friend or our daughter, ”he said after knowing the sentence against the former Real Madrid or Milan, among others.
