Flamenco dancer Farruquito freed from jail

The dancer, son of singer Juan Fernandez Flores, was jailed in January 2007 after a Spanish court found him guilty of killing pedestrian Benjamin Olalla while speeding and driving without a licence.

He was initially ordered to spend 16 months in a Seville prison in 2005, but his punishment was increased to three years in 2006 following an appeal by the victim’s grieving family.

Farruquito, real name Juan Manuel Fernandez Montoya, landed a lucky break in April 2008 when he was allowed out on work release for good behaviour, only needing to return to the prison each night to sleep.
