The judge of Prison Surveillance at the National Court, José Luis Castro, granted conditional release on Friday to Pablo Crespo, number two of the Gürtel plot, after more than 12 years in prison. Crespo, former Organization Secretary of the Galician PP, has served two-thirds of his sentence. The decision considers his low risk of recidivism and family support.
Judge Santiago Pedraz of Spain's National Court has dismissed the ambulances case, a spin-off from the 3% case on irregular financing of Convergència Democràtica de Catalunya (CDC). The ruling comes after three years of investigation failing to prove criminal irregularities in a 2014 tender. Anticorruption Prosecutors support the dismissal.
