Seville (EFE).- The First Section of the Provincial Court of Seville has agreed to suspend for a period of five years the imprisonment imposed on the former president of the Junta de Andalucía José Antonio Griñán for the case of the false ERE due to cancer that suffers, according to an order notified this Monday to the parties.
In the order, dated today and before which an appeal can be filed, the court thus agrees to the request for suspension of the custodial sentence made by the defense of Griñán based on article 80.4 of the Penal Code, which provides that judges and courts may grant the suspension of any sentence imposed without being subject to any requirement in the event that the prisoner is afflicted with a very serious illness with incurable conditions.
On June 21, the Seville Anti-Corruption Prosecutor announced that it was not opposed to Griñán, 77 years old and sentenced to six years, avoiding prison due to “very serious” cancer, a decision that came after of the report issued by the coroner that advised against admission to jail as he was afflicted with “a very serious illness with incurable conditions.”
