Supreme Court Commutes Sentences for Informants

El País

The Spanish Supreme Court reduced the prison sentences of Víctor de Aldama and Koldo García, who had previously been convicted in connection with a fraud investigation involving former Transport Minister José Luis Ábalos. De Aldama received a shorter sentence and was released on bail, while he was also excused payment of millions of euros obtained through fraudulent mask sales. The ruling has reignited debate about rewarding informants within the justice system.
