The Institute of Legal Medicine delivers its report on Griñán's disease to the Seville Court

SEVILLA, 4 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Institute of Legal Medicine (IML) delivered this past Tuesday to the Court of Seville the report corresponding to the serious illness suffered by the former socialist president of the Junta de Andalucía José Antonio Griñán, sentenced to six years and two days in prison for embezzlement in the financing mechanism of fraudulent employment regulation files (ERE), demanding the suspension of his imprisonment.

As El Mundo progressed and sources from said department have confirmed to Europa Press, after this past Tuesday morning Griñán went to the IML offices in the Prado de San Sebastián courts, the Institute of Legal Medicine delivered that same day and "in hand" his report, since the First Section of the Hearing had requested that a forensic expert report on whether the serious illness alleged by the former president, prostate cancer, affects or not the fulfillment of his prison sentence.

Once this report has been received, which for the IML has definitive effects, the First Section of the Seville Court would have planned to ask the Prosecutor's Office and the PP, represented as popular accusation, to rule on its content, before issuing its decision on the request of the former Andalusian president to suspend his imprisonment. On Wednesday morning, said parties were still waiting to receive the document, according to sources consulted by Europa Press.

All this, after at 11:59 p.m. this past Monday the ten-day period authorized by the First Section of the Seville Court for voluntary entry into Griñán prison expired, the former Minister of Finance Carmen Martínez Aguayo, the former Minister of Innovation Francisco Vallejo, former Minister of Employment and Technological Development José Antonio Viera, also former Minister of Employment Antonio Fernández, former director of the IDEA agency Miguel Ángel Serrano and former Vice Minister of Innovation Jesús María Rodríguez Román.

All of them were sentenced to different prison terms for embezzlement in the aforementioned mechanism or "specific procedure" for financing fraudulent EREs and arbitrary subsidies to companies, together with the former Director General of Labor and Social Security Juan Márquez and the former Deputy Minister of Employment Agustín Barbera.

However, after the Supreme Court reduced Juan Márquez's prison sentence from seven years and one day in prison to three years, when appreciating the analogous mitigation of repairing the damage, the First Section of the Court agreed to suspend one year his entry into prison pending the result of the partial pardon petition requested by his defense to the Ministry of Justice.

In the case of Agustín Barberá, although the First Section of the Court dismissed his appeal in the sentence execution phase, it did agree to suspend his imprisonment until the suspension of execution of the sentence requested by the court is processed. his defense based on article 80.4 of the Penal Code, regarding the case in which the prisoner is suffering from a very serious illness with incurable conditions, pending a report by the forensic doctor.

After that, the court required Griñán, the former Minister of Finance Carmen Martínez Aguayo, the former Minister of Innovation Francisco Vallejo, the former Minister of Employment and Technological Development José Antonio Viera, the former Minister of Employment Antonio Fernández, the former director of the IDEA agency Miguel Ángel Serrano and the former Vice Minister of Innovation Jesús María Rodríguez Román, so that within a period of ten days ending this past Monday, January 2, they "voluntarily enter" prison.

However, the defense of José Antonio Griñán then alleged that he had recently been diagnosed with a serious illness, once again requesting the suspension of the term of imprisonment for this defendant, based on that reason.

In view of this, and once the medical documentation provided by Griñán's representation had been seen, the First Section of the Hearing ordered that a coroner from the Institute of Legal Medicine examine the documentation and make an examination of Griñán if necessary, so that he could issue a report "assessing whether admission to a prison could have an impact on the development of the disease or on the prescribed treatment".

Meanwhile, former councilors Antonio Fernandez, Francisco Vallejo, Carmen Martinez Aguayo and Jose Antonio Viera, former IDEA director Miguel Angel Serrano and former deputy councilor Jesus Maria Rodriguez Roman have already entered prison.
