The Spanish National Court (Audiencia Nacional) has denied a request for Spanish nationality based on Sephardic origin submitted by a Salvadoran citizen. The court concluded that the evidence provided, which included certificates from a local rabbi and a report regarding the applicant's surnames, was insufficient to establish a direct family link to the Sephardic Jewish community.
This ruling underscores the strict evidentiary requirements mandated by Spanish judicial authorities for those seeking citizenship under the Sephardic origin law. The court determined that the documentation presented failed to meet the necessary legal threshold to prove the required ancestral connection, resulting in the rejection of the application.
