The former Andalusian Minister of Economy and Finance Carmen Martínez Aguayo, sentenced in the ERE case to six years in prison for embezzlement, has entered the third degree of prison after having served a year and a half in prison in the women’s prison of Alcalá de Guadaíra (Seville). ). The former socialist leader, counselor between 2009 and 2013, achieved this regime of semi-freedom last week, which allows her to spend the day outside and only go to sleep at the Jiménez de Así Social Integration Center (CIS) in the Andalusian capital.
Martínez Aguayo entered prison on December 28, 2022 to serve the sentence imposed by the Court of Seville, and ratified by the Supreme Court, for a crime of embezzlement in the case of fraudulent ERE. Last week he was awarded the third degree, according to what the SER reported this Monday and this newspaper confirmed. Martínez Aguayo always denied having read the permanent financial control reports on the ERE that warned of the “inappropriate use” of the payment of socio-labor aid. The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office maintained, however, that she did know them, a criterion adopted by the judges who convicted her.
The one that was number two of former president José Antonio Griñán, 70 years old and a doctor by profession, is the second Andalusian person convicted in the ERE to access the third degree, after the former Employment Minister José Antonio Viera, who achieved it a year ago due to a serious illness. Viera, 78 years old, had been sentenced to seven years and one day in prison and, after serving six months of his sentence, a year ago he was transferred to the Social Integration Center (CIS) in Huelva.
The Constitutional Court will shortly deliberate on the appeals for protection filed by the former senior officials of the Andalusian Junta convicted in that political piece of the ERE, among them those of the former presidents José Antonio Griñán and Manuel Chaves. The high court studies the appeals under the direction of Vice President Inmaculada Montalbán, who advanced last fall that due to their “great legal complexity” and “general interest” they could not be resolved before summer. Griñán was sentenced to six years in prison, but has not gone to jail, due to the medical treatment he is following. Chaves received a disqualification sentence. Former councilors Antonio Fernández and Francisco Vallejo, and former senior officials Jesús María Rodríguez and Miguel Ángel Serrano, continue to serve sentences in prison.
