The man at the centre of the Gürtel case has been held on remand for more than three years.Francisco Correa The man at the centre of the Gürtel case, Francisco Correa, finally leaves prison after obtaining bail thanks the 200,000 € his 91 year old mother, Concepción Sánchez, has paid to the National Court. It has been possible by Instruction Judge Fernandeu Andreu, recently cutting the bail amount from 400,000 €. Francisco Correa will leave the Soto del Real prison in Madrid on Monday night, having been held on bail for more than three years on remand. He entered the prison in February 2009. Correa faces charges of bribery, influence peddling, fiscal fraud, illegal association, money laundering and falsification of documents. He was sent to prison initially by Judge Baltasar Garzón for sending capital abroad and making the investigation more difficult. Under the bail deal he will not be able to leave Spain and will have to report to the court when called to do so.
