In Cuba, there is no record of any complaints against him.\n\n\n

The Condemnation<\/h4>\n\n\nAccording to the Fugitives Section of the National Police<\/strong>, Ramos Soto is from Ourense, is 50 years old, and was sentenced to 13 and a half years in prison for sexual abuse of a minor student, through sadistic practices, when the victim was between 12 and 16 years old.\n\nOnce he was sentenced in July 2025, Ramos Soto did not attend the prison entry order to serve the sentence. Then a national arrest warrant was issued, although the agents already had indications that the convicted person was outside of Spain.\n\nAccording to the police reconstruction of his escape, Ramos Soto traveled to Portugal in July to fly to Brazil from Lisbon. From there he traveled to Peru and then, finally, to Cuba. The Spanish police considered that the convicted man had some support on the island.\n\nIn addition to being a primary and infant education teacher, Ramos Soto is a former member of the defunct En Marea and known in his city, Ourense, for teaching music and for his activism.\n\nTheir inclusion on the list along with ten other fugitives - there are known drug traffickers, a murderer, a historic robber and several sex offenders - is due, according to the Fugitives Section, to a \"strategic\" issue.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
