The change is relevant as up until now, the Prosecution accused only four people of another crime, the 282 bis of the Criminal Code, and requested sentences of between two years and seven months and five years. Luzon, in the previous fiscal anti-corruption, considered that Rodrigo Rato, and three other managers of Bankia (former ceo of Bankia, Francisco Verdú, and the directors José Manuel Fernández Norniella José Luis Olivas) distorted the information that the entity went public and caused a serious prejudice to investors. For a While he asked five years of imprisonment.

however, the fiscal Thean has been pointed out during Safirbet the issues prior to that when the Prosecution presented its final conclusions it was considered that the mere formulation of the accounts of Bankia and BFA did not reach the entity sufficient to constitute an offence of false accounting. He added that this consideration has changed after two judgments of the Supreme Court subsequent to the filing of the written statement, consolidated doctrine and according to which the formulation of accounts itself is sufficient to impute such a crime. The new allocation would affect the people against whom the self-transformation of the investigating judge addressed this responsibility, he added.

The article 290 punishes the managers of a society that distort the annual accounts to cause an economic prejudice “to the same, to any of its partners, or a third party”. The crime is punished with a prison sentence of one to three years.
