Police in Elche have charged a 52‑year‑old Spanish woman accused of selling pirated telenovelas through the website Milanuncios.com. The investigation, led by the city’s Court of Instruction Number 1, forms part of Operation Pecadora. Officers say the case is unusual because the material involved consists of full telenovela series rather than films or single episodes.

According to the National Police, officers seized around 1,300 counterfeit DVDs, seven hard drives and a desktop computer during a search of the woman’s home on 2 December. The discs allegedly contained complete seasons of titles such as ‘Mientras haya vida’, ‘La encrucijada’, ‘Cuando me enamoro’ and ‘Amor sin límites’, along with many other well‑known telenovelas.

Investigators say the woman advertised the material online and posted it to buyers, supplying the series on DVD in mp4 or mkv format. She is suspected of charging between 5 and 7 euros per season, plus postage.

The inquiry began after a complaint filed in July 2025 by the audiovisual rights organisation EGEDA, which reported widespread reproduction and distribution of pirated content. After being questioned at Elche police station, the woman was released on bail while the court considers the next steps.
