Three Spanish graffiti vandals had to pay more than $13,000 in fines to stay out of jail for tagging city subway cars.
Ignacio Dominguez-Robles, 39, Manuel Cobano-Pareja, 40, and Ricardo Espinola-Martinez, 36, were visiting from Barcelona when they were arrested in April by NYPD cops who had help from Interpol in identifying their graffiti tags: “Sen / Jabato,” “Tate / Asia” and “Orus.”
The men were charged in Manhattan, The Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens. Dominguez-Robles and Espinola-Martinez were fined $1,000 each Thursday in Queens court after pleading to a felony charge of criminal mischief a day earlier.
Cobano-Pareja took the same plea deal and will be sentenced on July 5.
They had previously taken plea deals in the other boroughs in exchange for time served and nearly $11,000 in combined fines.
