Airbnb has suffered another setback in the Spanish market. On Monday, the High Court of Justice of Madrid (TSJM) rejected the company’s request for interim measures to suspend payment of the nearly €64 million fine imposed on it by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs in December 2025. As a result of this decision, the platform must pay the penalty while the court case continues.
The ruling does not go into the substance of the case, but simply rejects the company’s request to halt payment until a final judgment is issued. Airbnb, however, still intends to challenge the fine, arguing that it runs counter to the Spanish and European legal framework.
