"I acknowledge them [the facts]," stated businessman Francisco Correa, leader of the Gürtel case, in the latest trial on the plot that began this Monday in the National Court. This is the main cause of a case that led to Pedro Sánchez's successful motion of censure against Mariano Rajoy in 2018, following the ruling in the first phase of the Gürtel case that convicted the PP as the party responsible for profit. The National Court sentenced Correa to 51 years in prison for leading the scheme of commissions to PP politicians in exchange for contracts with companies in its network, but also sentenced the party's former treasurer, Luis Bárcenas, to 33 years in prison, and the PP as a legal entity.
