The Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office has asked the National High Court to order the immediate imprisonment of the main convicts of the Gürtel case who were still on provisional freedom.

Among them,

Rosalía Iglesias

, wife of the former PP treasurer Luis Bárcenas.

The petitions come after the Supreme Court has substantially ratified the sentences imposed by the National High Court and the sentence is already final.

The Prosecutor's Office requested that admission to prison after the ruling of the National Court, but several of them were able to continue on provisional freedom with precautionary measures.

That was the case of Rosalía Iglesias, who spent a night in prison and was released on bail of 200,000 euros.

The Supreme Court ruling imposed him 12 years and 11 months in prison for his active role in hiding Bárcenas' money.

The leaders of the plot were already in prison for the

Gürtel case

before the ruling of the Supreme Court.

Among them,

Francisco Correa

and his right hand,

Pablo Crespo

.

Also

Álvaro Pérez

, known as

El Bigotes

.

After the court ruling, Bárcenas himself,

Jesús Sepúlveda

- former mayor of Pozuelo (Madrid) and ex-husband of the former PP minister Ana Mato - and

Carmen Rodríguez Quijano

, Correa's ex-wife,

also entered

.

Not all those convicted will go to prison.

The law allows those sentenced to sentences that individually - each crime - do not add up to more than two years can see the execution of the sentence suspended.
