He threw a refrigerator off a cliff, and as a punishment he had to pull it to the top

A man who threw an old fridge from the top of a cliff in Spain, making a mockery of recycling, will have to haul it back to dispose of it properly.

In addition, he has to go to court.

Spanish police have identified a man who works for a company that distributes home appliances.

He was discovered after a video of him throwing a fridge went viral on social media.

The man, accompanied by the police, had to pull the refrigerator out of the abyss into which it had previously been thrown.

The court in Almeria in the south of Spain has to decide whether the Spaniard will be punished only as a misdemeanor or if he will also be charged criminally for "crime against the environment".
