Overview
- A Palma provincial court issued the sentence at the hearing after a plea agreement with the defense, private accusers, and the prosecutor, and also imposed a €2,880 fine.
- Llinás admitted a structured fraud nearing €20 million that hit hundreds of people and firms through Autoclick.
- Investigators say the scheme sold 3,468 leased or rented cars that could not legally be sold, using invoices that falsely claimed control over the vehicles.
- All compensation claims now move to the company's bankruptcy case, a process that groups creditors and often stretches for years with limited payouts.
- Prosecutors initially sought nine years in prison, and Llinás has been held since October 2024 as the case traced sales and assets across Spain and several EU countries.
