Halloween in the Canary Islands: Penalties up to 30,000 euros for safety breaches

Carrying props deemed a public safety threat on the Canary Islands carries a penalty of up to 30,000 euros.

Public safety laws apply on the Canary Islands. Authorities warn that actions disrupting order may result in high fines. The maximum penalty is 30,000 euros. This amount applies to serious breaches. It is not an automatic fine for fear alone.

A case from another jurisdiction involved a man fined for frightening hospital patients. The incident occurred on 6 June at Glan Clwyd hospital. The man wore a black tunic and hood. He held an object described as a scythe. He observed people in the building centre. The court in Llandudno fined him 200 pounds. This is a different jurisdiction from Spain.

The United Kingdom fined a man for frightening hospital patients. This is a different jurisdiction from Spain. Residents on the Canary Islands should avoid actions deemed a breach of public safety.
