Success was never synonymous with tranquility for the publication, especially in the early years, when they had serious confrontations with censorship . In the writing it was clear that ingenuity had to be used. And they do it like that. To circumvent the rule that allowed them to publish only one murder per issue, in the event that two or more blood crimes occurred, they launched special editions aimed at the areas where they occurred. In this way they continued to offer a single murder, but different depending on the region in which the copies were distributed.

This trick did not prevent the censors from closely monitoring her. There came a point when the Ministry of Information and Tourism decided to close the publication, alleging that it violated Catholic morality. Faced with this situation, the director of the newspaper, who was after all a person close to Fax Lists the regime, came up with the idea that it would be the Church that decided on the suitability of the contents of the publication and that subjected it to prior censorship. Finally, the lieutenant vicar general of the diocese of Madrid, Moisés García Torres , was in charge of monitoring the morals and Catholic orthodoxy of the publication. According to people who worked at El Caso at the time , the magazine paid him a good salary for his work, which consisted of not covering up any news.
During the time that The Case was on sale, it collected the most gruesome crimes and the darkest episodes that occurred in Spain . From the lady who poisoned her husband to the case of the tailor who killed her family with a hammer, passing through the story of the woman who kept her daughter's eyes in a box.
At the time when Eleuterio Sánchez, El Lute , was considered public enemy number one, the weekly newspaper echoed all the adventures of this character, who in the imagination of some was seen as a kind of Robin Hood cañí. In fact, one of the most famous covers is the one in which El Lute appears , with his arm in a sling, flanked by two police officers.
One of the pieces of information that gave the magazine the most glory was that of the El Jarabo case . José María Jarabo Pérez-Morris, better known as Jarabo , was a Spanish criminal popular for having murdered four people, one of them a pregnant woman, in Madrid between July 19 and 21, 1958. This earned him a sentence of death by the vile garrote method.
