The Fourth Section of the Provincial Court of Valencia held a viewing this Thursday in which it assessed the imprisonment of the former president of the Generalitat and former minister of the PP Eduardo Zaplanawho was sentenced to ten years and five months in prison for his main participation in the ITV plot of the Erial case.
Zaplana’s defense has provided a medical reportdated 2019 and signed by the court’s forensic doctors, as a basis to avoid entering prison. Likewise, the Cartagena politician has insisted that “it is not in his mind to flee” the country.
For its part, in the vistilla, the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office has requested the immediate entry in the Zaplana prison to prevent him from escaping, as José María Tabares did, convicted in the Ivex case; while his defense has opposed it, alleging that this possibility does not exist due to his illness and family roots: «There is not the slightest indication of risk. “He has his house, his family, and he has everything in Spain.”
Immediately, the former Valencian president spoke and stated that he has no intention of fleeing the country: “I am not in the mood to flee,” he stressed. The magistrates, after listening to both the arguments of the prosecutor and the defense, must make a decision that could be communicated in the coming days.
If it were decided that Zaplana should go to prison until the Supreme Court resolves the appeals filed against the conviction, the most common thing is that the decision will be passed to the Execution Courts and he will be given a period of a few days to enter prison.
