Jaume Matas and Baltasar Garzón will not obtain a pardon from the Government. The Minister of Justice has already privately acknowledged that he is not contemplating, as of today, granting that concession to the applicants. The Executive will rely on the reports from the Palma Court and the Supreme Court prosecutor's office to justify its decision. As PP sources close to the Minister of Justice explain to El Confidencial Digital , Gallardón has already told his trusted team of his intention not to grant the pardons requested by the former 'popular' president of the Balearic Islands, Jaume Matas ; and by the former judge of the National Court Baltasar Garzón . The minister, however, has conveyed that the Government will not study the requests in the Council of Ministers until it receives the complete file with all the necessary documentation to process a pardon. Despite this, Justice already has a series of arguments to justify the denial of both requests . The Palma Court report is very critical of Jaume Matas When studying the granting of a pardon, the Government evaluates a series of reports that can tip the balance in favor or against the convicted person. In the case of Jaume Matas, the latest ruling from the Provincial Court of Palma is going to be, according to the sources consulted, “decisive” for the former president of the Balearic Islands.
In the brief, the court specifies that Matas used his position “to the detriment of the public and collective interest” and has not “shown interest in repairing or rehabilitating” the damage caused . Furthermore, the Court considers that it is "unaffordable" that Phone Number List the "serious crime" committed by the former leader of the PP " is criminally satisfied with the payment of a ridiculous and meager fine ." The sources consulted by ECD explain that, with this report, “Justice has sufficient arguments to reject Matas' request for clemency.” On the other hand, the fact of not having gone to jail , as also happens to Baltasar Garzón, “plays against” the Balearic: “in requests for pardon, one of the points that is most taken into account when to accept the requests are the favorable reports from Prisons for good behavior .” In both cases, “neither of the two can count on that trump card, which is usually very binding.” The Supreme Court prosecutor opposes Garzón's pardon PP leaders close to Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón explain to ECD that, in the case of the pardon for Baltasar Garzón, “ things are even clearer against him ,” since the Supreme Court prosecutor's office has explicitly ruled against it. of the request of the former judge of the National Court. Specifically, the Supreme Court prosecutor has written, in his report, that the crimes of prevarication committed by Garzón are among “ the most serious that a member of the Judicial Service can commit in the exercise of his duties .
On the other hand, he also considers the damage caused by the illegal eavesdropping in the ' Gürtel ' investigation to be serious due to the “legal consequences that this initiative had for the rights of the accused.” In addition, it downplays the mitigating circumstances presented by the defense, which emphasizes the former judge's career. In the opinion of the prosecution, these professional merits are “irrelevant” to grant him a pardon. Ortega Cano and Del Nido also have a very difficult time The sources consulted explain that, in Justice, the granting of pardon to other well-known faces who have requested it in recent weeks is also considered "impossible" , such as the bullfighter José Ortega Cano and the former president of Sevilla FC José María del Nest. Neither of them has gone to prison but they have shown their remorse and have recognized the damage caused by their crimes. Ortega Cano is convicted of reckless homicide, causing the crash of Carlos Parra, a driver with whom he collided while driving under the influence of alcohol. Del Nido, for his part, was convicted of crimes of prevarication, embezzlement and fraud for the so-called 'Minutas case'. The Ministry of Justice sees his entry into prison as “inevitable” to serve the sentence imposed by the judge, although no decision will be announced until both pardon files are analyzed by the entire Council of Ministers.
