LI ATIK SA TOU: Yon jèn gason pèdi lavi’l pa yon bal polis nasyonal UDMO , devan lakay li.
He did so by pressuring his employees into handing out subsidies to the Cyes Foundation, a fake NGO which syphoned off the funds into real estate purchases in Spain’s Valencia region.
The 69-year-old, who switched from Spain’s Socialist Party to the right-wing Popular Party when he was kicked out for allegedly accepting bribes in return for favours to real estate developers, has defended his innocence throughout the trial.
Blasco stood trial alongside eight other suspects, including the already jailed businessman Augusto César Tauroni and Cyes Foundation President Marcial López, who were sentenced to eight and four years behind bars respectively.
