• Written The Prosecutor's Office is not satisfied and requests more reports on Griñán's cancer before deciding on his admission to prison

  • Report Forensics give Griñán oxygen: they do not see his imprisonment as "convenient" because it could affect his cancer treatment

José Antonio Griñán is going to get rid, for the moment, of going to jail to serve the six-year sentence that was imposed on him for the ERE case.

The Provincial Court of Seville has agreed to postpone the entry into prison by the ERE of the former president of the Board until

the end of the radiotherapy sessions

that he must receive for the cancer that has been recently diagnosed.

To the forensic report - which concluded the

"inconvenience"

of the admission to the Griñán prison - and to the similar pronouncement of the Prosecutor's Office, the private prosecution, exercised by the Popular Party and which also advocates parking the imprisonment of the former president, has been added. so that he does not have to enter a penitentiary center as six other convicts have done, who have been serving their sentences for weeks.

The PP, in a letter that it has presented this Friday before the First Section of the Seville Court, is committed to postponing this imprisonment, but only

"temporarily"

and for a "brief" space of time.

Specifically, the private prosecution points out, while the former president completes the radiotherapy treatment that his doctors have prescribed.

Once this is finished, he requests that a new evaluation be carried out by the forensics of the Institute of Legal Medicine (IML), which could be set in two or three months, which is the period indicated in the first opinion of the specialist of the IML which became known earlier this week.

In this way, the

popular

ones join the theses and the request of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, which has also requested "more precise" reports before making a

final decision

on the suspension of Griñán's sentence, although in the meantime it agrees that the former president does not go to jail.

The PP even adheres to the request that prosecutors Juan Enrique Egocheaga and Manuel Fernández have already made twice for the health services of the Seville prison where Griñán would presumably enter to report on the capacity of the system and the means to care for a prisoner suffering from an ailment like the one suffered by the former president and former Minister of Finance.

Moreno, in favor of not entering

The letter materializes a

position

that was already advanced by the president of the Andalusian PP and current president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, who this Wednesday pointed out that "personally he cannot be in favor" of the former head of the Andalusian Executive entering the jail.

"I personally cannot be in favor of Mr. Griñán entering jail once it has been certified that he has cancer. A person who is seriously ill has to be treated appropriately. And if the forensic doctor says that it can only be properly treat without going to prison, so don't go to prison," said Moreno, who added that, although health advances have made it possible "to become chronic in many cases," cancer continues to be a

"very harsh disease.

That of the PP is a more detailed and extensive letter than that of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office itself, which responded on one page to the request of the Seville Court to rule on the request for suspension of the sentence in view of the forensic report.

The specialist from the Institute of Legal Medicine of Seville pointed out, by way of conclusion, "the inadvisability of his admission to the penitentiary center until remission is confirmed" of the tumor by the doctors who care for the former president.

And that is precisely what the prosecutors have requested: medical reports that detail the

evolution of the patient

once the treatments against the prostate cancer that he suffers from, hormone therapy and radiotherapy, have begun, specifically.

Now yes, the court that sentenced Griñán and that is in charge of the execution of the sentence has in its possession all the pronouncements that it had requested in addition to the opinion of the forensic doctor, with which it is expected that it will decide imminently on the last request for suspension of the sentence of Griñán, whose lawyer, former prosecutor José María Calero, alleged a serious illness, a "high-risk" cancer.
