The three graffiti vandals who trekkeąµ©d from Spain to New York City to ź¦deface the subways have copped to no-jail plea deals.
Taggers Ignacio Dominguez-Robles, Manuel Cobano-Pareja and Ricardo Espinš³ola-Martinez all pleaded guilšty in Brooklyn Supreme Court to charges of felony criminal mischief and misdemeanor criminal mischief for sullying MTA trains across the city.
As part of the plea, each has to cough up $1,0š92.12 in fines to cover the cost of the damage ā but will avoid time behind bars if they stay out of troš³uble for a year.
Dominguez-Robles was sentenced Wednesday, while his cohorts are expected ā±to return to court June 19 for sentencing.
The trio were tracked down with the help of internationaāØl police organization Interpol after the NYPD began noticing āEuropean-styleā graffiti in subway staštions on April 11.
The Spaniards were nabbed on April 16, when copšøs caught them posing for photos in front of freshly-inked tags.
āIn my cź¦ountry [it] is not illegal to do graffiti,ā Dominguez-Robles explained to officers following his arrest, according to court paź¦pers.
Cobano-Pareja offered a similar statement to police, saying: āIn Barcelona, it is not as seriš¹ous as it is in New York City.ā
The men have already cut similar plea deals in Manhattan and the Bronx, but still hš¼ave cases pending in Queens.
