The lawyer of Sánchez's brother denies that the sentence is 'lawfare' and announces that he will appeal the conviction

“It is a very tedious prevarication”. This is how Emilio Cortés, David Sánchez's lawyer, has summarized the sentence that condemns Pedro Sánchez's brother to nine years of disqualification, but acquits him of the crime of influence peddling and avoids prison. He believes it is a “very controversial” sentence.
