The Prosecutor's Office once again asks the coroner to specify if Griñán can be treated in jail

The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor has agreed to request once again that a forensic doctor rule on whether the former president of the Junta de Andalucía José Antonio Griñán can be treated in prison for the cancer he suffers and thus serve the sentence of six years in prison for the case of the ERE fraudulent.

In a resolution this Wednesday, the delegated prosecutors of Seville thus respond, in their allegations, to the report sent on May 25 to the Provincial Court of Seville by the Institute of Legal Medicine (IML) which indicated that the treatment to which Griñán is subjected It is “little compatible with prison dynamics.”

Prosecutors now ask that “the IML be officiated again so that the forensic doctor can specify in her final conclusions” if the treatment that Griñán currently receives “is compatible or not with his imprisonment.”

They remember that it was this point that was requested by the Court of Seville in its order of May 2 so that it can be resolved whether the suspension of the execution of the prison sentence is appropriate.

In addition, the prosecutors point out that the forensic report that recognized Griñán “also does not pronounce” on whether the disease suffered by the former Andalusian president “can be described as very serious”, since they recall that the Penal Code contemplates the possibility of suspending the penalty “in the event that the prisoner is afflicted with a very serious illness with incurable conditions”.

For this, they ask that the results of a medical examination that Griñán has to pass on June 6 be taken into account.

In the report, signed by the forensic María Ángeles Dichas, it is indicated that Griñán has a “very serious” illness and that he must resort to hospital services outside the prison for his treatment.

Regarding the side effects of the hormonal and radiotherapy treatment, as well as the frequent check-ups to which he will be subjected, the forensic report considers that “they seem incompatible with prison dynamics, that is, life in prison, which has its own requirements for the prisoners, as well as the continuous releases”.

The coroner, who admits that the consideration of a “very serious illness, pending uncertain evolution” “persists”, also shows that in the report sent by the penitentiary center to the Court of Seville, there is talk of the “difficulties for the transfer in emergency situations and even in the event of scheduled departures from said center”.
