- Anti-corruption prosecutor Fernando Maldonado delivered his final report asking for a firm, exemplary sentence in the Imelsa case’s piece E.
- The request totals 11 years in prison for Marcos Benavent—five for bribery and six for embezzlement—plus nine years of disqualification for prevarication.
- The case targets alleged rigging of Culture Department contracts at Valencia City Hall between 2003 and 2007, when the area was led by the late María José Alcón.
- Prosecutors say the evidence is direct and includes recordings and pretrial statements, rejecting defense claims of manipulated audios or broken chain of custody.
- Four co-defendants also face prison terms, with five years requested for ex–Jaume II el Just manager Vicente Burgos and three years each for Enrique Aleixandre, Carlos Turró, and Carlos Vicent, as the court deliberates its verdict.
