Two East European men have been sentenced to 18 and a half years each in prison for robbing a perfume shop in Fuengirola in February 2006 and seriously injuring the owners. They burst into the shop and began to hit the owner in the head and face before tying and gagging him and taking him into the back room. His wife arrived shortly afterwards and she too was attacked by a man with his face covered who knocked her unconscious. They stole 3,000 euros, several bottles of perfume and mobile phones. They will now have to pay the victims 700,000 euros in compensation.
