The Prosecutor's Office reduces its request for Camps for the Gürtel case to one year in prison

The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office has reduced its request for the former Valencian president Francisco Camps to one year in prison and 6 years of disqualification, whom it accuses of having given instructions to award a contract to a company in the Gürtel plot in 2009.

Anti-corruption, which at the beginning of the trial in the National Court requested two and a half years in prison and ten years of disqualification for Camps, presented its final conclusions this Thursday, in which it has withdrawn the crime of fraud from the former president of the Generalitat Valenciana and has requested for him one year in prison, six years of disqualification and a fine of 250,000 euros for influence peddling in an ideal contest with prevarication.

The Prosecutor's Office has also considered the highly qualified mitigating circumstances of confession for the dozen defendants who recognized the facts for which they are accused, among whom are those considered to be three ringleaders of the Gürtel plot, who are already serving high sentences..

This trial of a branch of the macro-cause, in which three former Camps councilors and several former senior officials are also accused, focuses on alleged irregularities in public awards to the Orange Market company in the Valencian Community between 2004 and 2009..
