MrGranBomba, the youtuber who in 2016 received a slap from a delivery man after calling this “caranchoa”, will have to compensate the worker with a total of 20,000 euros. The Court of Alicante has sentenced the former content creator to pay said amount for moral damages, taking into account the amount for which he sold his YouTube channel, as revealed Information.
The ruling, which has not been appealed before the supreme court, comes after the ex-youtuber appealed a previous sentence handed down a year ago by the Court of First Instance number 9 of Alicante. In this, they concluded that there was “illegitimate interference in the honor and image of the dealer.” Also a clear intention for MrGranBomba to profit from his image. In fact, the one known as MrGranBomba published two videos after what happened. In one of them he showed how he received that slap from the delivery man, and another in which he insulted the worker calling him “mentally unbalanced”, “criminal” among others.
Now, we reiterate, the court has taken into account the benefit that the former YouTuber in the “caranchoa” case has obtained through his channel. This one, in particular, was sold to the company Play Hawkers for 15,000 euros. In addition to the 20,000 euros in compensation to the dealer, MrGranBomba has had to spread the ruling on YouTube. The dealer, for his part, must pay a fine of 30 euros for the slap.
“Let’s see if I clarify myself, caranchoa”
MrGranBomba, remember, in 2016 called a delivery man “caranchoa” who was during his working hours, after asking him for the street where the shops are located. “Let’s see if I clarify myself, caranchoa,” said the youtuber after receiving the instructions from the delivery man. “Caranchoa? And if I give you a host?the worker replied.
The ex-youtuber tried to calm him down by clarifying that it was a hidden camera, but it did not help to avoid the slap that the delivery man gave him.
In 2017, the investigating court number 8 of Alicante issued a sentence in which the delivery man was sentenced to a fine of 30 euros for minor injuries. All this, despite the fact that the ex-youtuber’s lawyer who called him “caranchoa” asked for a fine of 180 euros. Also compensation for damages of 300 euros.
