The accused, who was a passenger in a vehicle whose driver tested positive for alcohol on the morning of March 9, 2025, repeatedly offered money to the officers to avoid a citation. The bribery attempt occurred as they were returning from the Cádiz Carnival.
Initially, the prosecutor sought four years and six months in prison for a corruption offense. However, the defendant admitted the facts and reached an agreement with the court, resulting in a minimal sentence.
The final ruling imposes a two-year prison sentence and a fine of 1,080 euros, taking into account the confession and the defendant's state of intoxication at the time of the offense as mitigating factors.
Furthermore, the suspension of the prison sentence execution has been granted for a period of three years, provided he does not re-offend and pays another fine of 1,704 euros. If these conditions are met, he will not serve time in prison.
The convicted individual has a history of numerous criminal convictions, including previous sentences for drug trafficking, illegal possession of weapons, receiving stolen goods, and aggravated assault.
The proven facts state that Civil Guard officers were conducting a preventive alcohol and drug check when they stopped the vehicle. After the driver's positive test, the co-driver offered money to prevent the report, even insisting in the presence of a second officer.
