They're not even sure there will be a trial.
The Spanish police love massive raids, nothing much happens after that though.
take it through the lower courts takes a couple of years, then appeal a couple more years, appeal again to the supreme court that seems to only work about 1/2 a day on Thursdays and only in the winter, and if you're lucky it's out of date and gets archived.. They're still pissing about with cases 10 years old. |
Yea I know a bit about that; the legal system there works like the rest of the country which is why it's in the miserable state of crisis it's currently in. But there are still plenty of criminals locked up in spanish jails, they got there somehow.
Also this here - A local newspaper said a Spanish porn star, who was also arrested in the Operation Emperor, disclosed Gao has connections with top officials in Madrid and hinted if he were punished, a lot of officials would be dragged in the money-laundering scandal.
If there is an indication of corruption with the media involved, that would provoke the prosecution to hold people accountable. On another note, it seems that this same douchebag is snitching on the Chinese mafia involved... see how that works itself out.

Operation Emperor lasted two years and is one of the largest dealing with laundering of assets and fiscal crime ever carried out in Spain.
A 2 year investigation is a bit more than just a raid, I don't think they'd let them just go even in Spain.
