Seville, (EFE).- The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office has requested this Friday the Seville Court to ask the defense of the former president of the Junta de Andalucía, José Antonio Griñán, sentenced to six years in prison for the ERE case, which provide updated reports on your state of health to be able to pronounce on your admission to prison.
The letter, to which EFE has had access, represents the response of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office to the request made to the parties by the First Section of the Seville Court to rule on the report from the prison medical services that was requested after Griñán’s defense claimed that he suffered from cancer to avoid going to jail.
The Provincial Court notified the parties last Monday so that, within a period of three days, they could make the allegations they deem appropriate to the report sent by the Seville penitentiary center on the treatment in the Griñán prostate cancer prison. , requested in a car dated January 13.
Referral to hospitals
In said order, the court agreed to obtain a report from the prison’s health services on the possibility of treatment in said center for the illness alleged by Griñán in order to avoid jail. The report was sent by prisons last Monday and in which it was explained that, when there is specialized care -as the former president of the Board may need-, the inmates are referred to hospitals.
The prison medical services listed that the “interrelation” with the hospitals is done for all specialties, and that patients are available to the requirements that each specialist establishes, both for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, and this is where chemotherapy and radiotherapy are included.
The transfer of patients to hospitals for scheduled consultations “does not pose problems” by the National Police through an agreement that guarantees the departure of five patients a day, according to the prison.
Radiotherapy sessions
The Prosecutor’s Office has requested that once these new reports provided by Griñán’s defense are available, they be sent back to the prison, once the center considers that his treatment in prison is “possible”.
Anti-corruption now asks the Court to request Griñán’s defense “updated medical information on diagnosis, treatment and possible effective complications derived from it” in order to rule on the possibility of his imprisonment.
The letter, signed by the prosecutors Juan Enrique Egocheaga Cabello and Manuel Fernández Guerra, indicates that once said documentation is received, it must be sent to the Seville prison so that it “ratifies or modifies” the conclusions contained in the report last Monday and specifically about the possibility that Griñán could receive treatment “according to his experiences with similar inmates.”
Prosecutors recall that the Court agreed to postpone the decision on the application to Griñán of the benefit of the suspension of entry into prison until the radiotherapy sessions were completed. EFE
